Oh that's a shame it was a nice site :-( I wonder if he thought you was a commercial user and not a Ham ?

I forgot to say anything at the time but I had problems with the farmer last time I used Whether Down, even though I had put a £1 in the box so suggest you stay out of the field - I have got a phone number to call him on but not sure it's worth the hassle.

You can park on the track in front of the PMR station - a bit less space but does work OK.

Final plans for G8GKQ:

Aiming to be at Dean Hill near Salisbury (IO91EA) setting up from 0930 with all bands 146 MHz - 24 GHz. Talkback 144.75 MHz FM. Weather forcast looks good!

Will have 23cm (10W) with me , just hope to be able to skive off work for a while to have a play. As to location somewhere in the New Forest area. Will only have the phone with me to limit the gear I will have in the works van. Good luck to all those venturing out.

Sorry New Forest traffic has beaten me today, if anyone is still around later after 7pm still have the gear in the van if anyone want to try on 23cm ?
