Thanks to all those who attended, I won’t list you all, I probably couldn’t if truth be told but great to see quite a few guys popping along over the weekend, and a great effort to those that made long journeys. A special thanks to 26FB204 for being a superb host and 26FB150 for the excellent mast, antenna equipment and aerials. But everyone chipped in somewhere along the line. Shame the weather wasn’t better, but it wasn’t really bad either. And there could have been better working conditions over on some of the bands, particularly 11m which we did have a fairly good log in the end, but went through some quiet periods. We managed to work 11m, 45m, 86m alongside some ham bands like 20m, 40m and even 70cms on a few occasions. Everyone was made welcome, we all had a good drink, BBQ’s and a superb venue. And we managed to save some of Jim’s homemade strawberry wine for next year The shack had the very best in equipment, all our set up was superb, from the shack itself to the brilliant Scam 12 (Thanks John 26FB193, hope to see you next year) with 3 element beam on top of DX hill, we had wires everywhere for all kinds of configurations, everyone had plenty of radio time, as much as anyone wanted on any band they preferred, I had a sore throat for a day or so Informality was the name of the game, a relaxed laid back atmosphere with some guys that have donkeys years of experience and knowledge to those which are fairly new to the game, some specialised aerial experience, some practical field experience and some home brew experience (literally), we ranged across all age groups pretty much and thanks to the CT’s, TM’s and the other 11m groups which were represented as well A special thanks to Ken 26FB113 who brought along sooo much interesting free electronic stuff, we spent ages going through it all and I came away with a few parts and I know others went away with bits and bobs too. Also thanks to the guys that chipped in for the club, Paddy 26FB118 could have sold that aerial at least twice Cheers to all the guys that sought us out on the radio, maybe see some of you next time Looking forward to next year already!

Want to make an inverted V for 45m, got a roll of wire (30m) and have a 10m pole and dipole center with so259, just need a bit of room to play about with it. Have my mountain topping setup to test, just the place to do it, and if somethings not right, plenty of very knowledgeable people here to show me the way, before beer anyway! Am looking forward to the weekend, whatever the weather. Seems to be a busy weekend here with my daughter going away in the caravan -landrover weekend and my future son in law going camping to Goodwood - festival of speed, a lot of my camping stuff have been lent out lol.
