Sharing some notes and pictures from the activity weekend last week. Thanks to Mike G8LDX a group of us within RATS have been experimenting with Portsdown platforms. On Saturday 20th with the 2/70 activity weekend in mind we setup to prove out some ideas.
Ian M0IJS, Mike G8DLX, Geoff G3TQF. Saturday 20th March 10:00 ~ 12:00.
Goals were to establish contact across town between G8DLX, G3TQF and M0IJS. These three stations plot a line on the map. Other interested parties included Phil 2E0VEZ in IO92jh, Willoughby.
A receive station at the RATS clubhouse (IO92jj) was operated by M0IJS.
Talkback via 2Mtrs was successful between participating RATS stations although no others were heard during the session.
Mike in Bilton (IO92ii) sent DATV using his Portsdown 2018 platform. PA provided by a Mitsubishi 30W module built within a kit from Minikits. LPF either side and 4.5W driven to an 8Ele horizontal beam.
