Give me a hour warning and on what band so I can configure my system.

I have 23cm 35ele yagi horizontal TX&RX but only 2 watt DATV. Also limited to the bandwidth of the transverter and antenna so the useable frequency for TX & RX for me is ~1298.5MHz.

Talkback on Zello is preferred.

Hi Steve and Rob,
If you could let me know when, would like to see if I can copy you Rob on 23cms -
like Steve I can only TX/RX on 1298.5 Rob but have 45W of DATV to a 20ele.
50W ERP on 146.5 - locator IO81xv 10km from Steve.

Rob, I'd like to try 70cm receive in a few days time when I get set up. Bearings are 220 / 40.

I've been talking with G0UHY about trying between Birkenhead and Paignton in a few weeks time. The UN864 airway runs almost directly between us and is much used by aircraft going northwards from Spain to Northern England and Scotland. Aircraft can go magenta (high potential) in AirScout for 15 minutes - sometimes several aircraft at once. It should also be good for the Blackpool area.

I've got 2x25el yagi up for 70cm, will be ready for tests this evening after 6pm if anyone is available.
I had to take the 2m yagi down to fit them on the mast!

Also available for tests most of Sunday.
I'm listening Zello on most atv channels, ATV South, East, Northeast etc..

23cm Tx tests only on evenings after 7pm due to activity in the yard here, i can receive at any time.

Yes, I'll be watching 70cms at 6pm tonight - better than Strictly!

Will try to stream what I see on my BATC channel.
