Hi everyone,
I am still very much around and am on the air as work permits. I have a cluster alert set up for Tony /mm but I have not been able to hear him so far. I have a 4 elements on each of 20m and 15m at about 35 feet at the moment - the tower is wound down for most of the winter.
I am slowly gravitating towards the low bands with lots of receive antenna testing taking place at the Scouts site where there is space for beverages and loops. My biggest challenge is the Gilwell herd of Fallow deer keep damaging the low wires! I have also started to rebuild for VHF and up with 21 DXCC heard over the last 24 hours on 144MHz Meteor scatter. Hope to sort out 2/70/23 TX in the new year.
I now have quite a lot of experience with the Versatowers so if G7ULL has one of those I may be able to help. My welding isnt very good though and I wouldnt trust it on someone else's mast.
I have visitors arrivong on Xmas Eve. I will put a reminder in my calendar, but suspect I wont be able to show up on the bands.
I think groups.io only charge for over 100 members on a list - no danger of that here !
Happy Christmas everyone
Steve, M0BPQ
