Re: xmas net 2023
Hi Lawrie, tks fer ur email, sri unable to make any xmas nets due to bad illness fer couple of weeks, nearly beat u all to the grave! At last i saw doc who wanted me in hospital, i declined as i saw my dad with same thing 1 hour before death 3 yrs ago, and it was a horrific scene. So Im On steroids, antibiotics, Asthma pump, sublingual spay to assist with angina attack. Welll im still here but not able to do talk radio ssb due to constant coughing. Doc thinks its broncho-pneumonia, so had chest xray to confirm, but staying home for now! Happy 2024 to all regards colin g0ujk.

Sorry you missed it!
开云体育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! ? 73 es 88s de Tony es Suzanne. ? ? ? ? |

Merry Christmas and HNY
开云体育Whatho fellow Cliftonaires! ? Having read a recent post by Lawrie (G4FAA) regarding a ‘Festive net’ over the Christmas period. I thought I would send my ‘apologies’ as however much Suzanne and I would like to join in the merry throng. Both the memsahib and I will be somewhere off the coast of Scandinavia? Due to the prevailing WX in that part of world we will not be taking our radio-kit as it is far too cold to operate outside on the open deck…….Ice boots and crampons will be the order of the day Hi! ? We have another nautical adventure on the horizon navigating in much warmer climes, when radio and bikes will be de-rigueur. Information will be circulated via our mailing list once we embark. ? May we wish you a very happy Christmas and a healthy, peaceful and prosperous New Year. ? 73 es 88s de Tony es Suzanne ?

2023 xmas net update
Hi folks
Seems sunday 17th for the proposed Clifton xmas net is proving unpopular (bit too early ?) . Thus suggest 2pm on sunday 24th on or near 7.195mhz as an alternative-- ok 'tis xmas eve already but take a break from peeling spuds men!! best 73 all and HNY Lawrie G4FAA ( wed 13th) |
