Hello fellow Cliftonaires,

?

Just to let you know the Clifton pre-Christmas seasonal net was held at 1400GMT today (17/12) on 7.195Mhz. This frequency was suggested by Lawrie (G4FAA) which turned out to be ideal for inter-G.? Such that Steve M0BPQ came straight back to my first tentative call at 13.55hrs……..Conditions were such that the band was generally noise free and the reports were 59+ both ways…………..Due to technical issues at home Steve ?had made the journey to Gilwell Park to operate in an unheated scout hut. Needless to say we had quite a deal of catching up to do since our last QSO when I was /MM. ?We kept frequency warm for just under an hour, awaiting the arrival of other Clifton members, unfortunately this was not to be.

?

Before the net I received a phone-call from John Lambert (G3FNZ) giving his apologies for not being able to join the net. However, he did ask that I pass on his best wishes for the Christmas and the New Year to all those present. Many thanks John.!

?

Have a great Christmas and happy New Year!

Catch you on the wireless in 2024!
