Whatho fellow Cliftonaires,

?

Just to continue the tropic of a ‘seasonal net’ raised by Lawrie G4FAA and circulate it via both the ‘G3GHN reflector’ and the Clifton Country Club e-mail list.

?

So apologies to those who will receive a duplicate of this mail.

?

It seems that the idea of an impromptu net this coming Thursday 12^th Dec. at around 12noon on 7.170 Mhz +/- ?has met with the approval of some already……….Good News!

?

The more the merrier, therefore if you can spare the time and drag yourselves away from wrapping gifts or working out which bulb has failed on the several sets of Christmas tree lights and to quote Martin G0DCG, the great bard of the Clifton “Just stay RELAXED” and join us on 40m this Thursday.

?

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Lawrie for initiating the idea and for selecting the frequency. Lawrie having had speak with the ‘radio god’s who have promised us a clear frequency. Hoorah!

?

Oh yes, you may also be interested a 30mins programme on BBC Radio 4 this evening (8/12) at 19.15 about the high speed Morse competition held in Tunisia. It should be a good listen…Featuring operators from all parts of the globe.…..It is extremely good to hear that our hobby and in particular the skill Morse code is being featured.? If you miss this opportunity to listen it will be broadcast again on Thursday 12^th Dec at 09.30 & 20.05 Hrs on the BBC World Service? either on line or for the SWL’s on 6.195 Mhz.

?

For those who are unable not to make the 40m net…….My I take this opportunity to wish a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and peaceful 2025

?

Catch you on the wireless!
