I seem to be getting out well on the old Royce 619 and I've a Stalker 2 homebase coming soon too, so I'm keen to give it another shot. I'll see if I can capture a few more QSO's on video next time.

Def a lot of interest and a lot learned about what we did wrong and what we are going to do to make it better for next time which is all good. Will take the 827 next time and have it on my 50ft pump up mast on high ground. I have never had any kind of amp but have suddenly got the urge to get one! Maybe due to the fact I could only use 25 watts on AM (which was plenty back in the day!)100 watts now seems the norm. May 3rd is next bank holiday (Monday) and another on 31st May? Swap mobile numbers is good idea, have a few now, can come in handy.

I had loads of fun, even though I made little headway with contacts. I think we should do it again, maybe in the summer I have some pics to put up soon nondisclosed_email@example.com (yamanx1)Wed, 07 Apr 2010 21:15:18 +0000 Re: AM Sked/Nethttps://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p13022,from=rss#post13022https://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p13022,from=rss#post13022I'm up for it again, especially now that I have all the necessary equipment sorted - the poles, the antenna, the guys all cut to the right length, the batteries... It does indeed seem to have been a success, as in my area (known for CB sparsity) there were several workable even though none were using FB calls except me - the whole idea seems to have been well received by other groups. I suggest we plan another date, but maybe set the time a little later at perhaps 2:00. Channel 14 worked OK too. As for phone numbers, yes that might be a good idea for hill-toppers, I'd go for that. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Hot Fusion)Wed, 07 Apr 2010 20:09:26 +0000 Re: AM Sked/Nethttps://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p13011,from=rss#post13011https://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p13011,from=rss#post13011Love to have another go anytime - the verdict was a patchy success, but some good lessons learned and some good contacts too. One thing that did come to mind - a dedicated AM station running at this year's FB meet? (not a HF radio, but a nice old Chicken Box, with a big vertical, fair bit of power and a decent power mic like a Turner base or K40 speech proc).
