For interest I did discover from Martin DCG that ?Steve G3RFC still holds the g3 call and Jack bkh had g7ghn ?but of course is ?now SK.Sadly Steve Rfc did not reply to several ?emails on the subject -- no matter ?--could you run a brief xmas net ?for the Decling band of Cliftons please with your high power scout station on the 22nd as pretty sure Colin ujk, peter ull dave .dbw would join in plus frank wmr and maybe ?mark in rochester and Clive ?in wales ? As usual however tony huz and Suzane will likely be at sea again ober xmas but could be on air with a long wore maybe on 40??

开云体育Whatho Gang! ? The idea of a seasonal Christmas net sounds good, and yes Colin is correct the memsahib and I will be at sea……….On the 22nd of December we should be in port at Oporto (CT1)……….I have recently acquired a 7Mhz loading coil for the G-Whip.? As we will have only been on board a few days and depending on the Capt’s permission together with the prevailing WX in the Channel and the Bay of Biscay we may not? have been able to deploy the antenna or find the WX so unpleasant to allow any ops on the open deck . To answer Lawrie’s question, we do have a wire antenna (HWEF for 40m) that we carry for use if the G-whip becomes un-serviceable ………..Unfortunately where we deploy the ‘end fed half wave’ is not ideal as it suspended across the aft of the ship between the outside stairwells some 25ft below where our vertical antenna sited on deck 12. ? Allowing for WX and permissions we will make every attempt to come up on 22nd………At 2pm………..However, 7.170Mhz sounds reasonable but you may well be confronted by QRM from Europe by 2pm whereas 3.650 may prove a much better option for an inter-UK net ? Some of us held an impromptu 7Mhz net on 16th Oct……….It attracted a goodly number of Cliftonaires plus a few passing guests.? Please note it was held at 12.30pm and by the time we closed at 13.40pm the Euro-babble had become quite noticeable. ? Would anyone be interested in another net next week say on Thursday 12th on 7.170Mhz +/- around midday? ? Needless to say we will be circulating the Clifton /MM group regarding our next extended nautical jaunt once we are at sea and operational…. ? I would like thank Lawrie (FAA) for relaying the information via this group.? As we do have a few problems with some e-mail providers whilst at sea. ? Catch you on the wireless! ? 73 de Tony es Suzanne. ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Colin Eloie G0UJK via groups.io ?

Hi All
I hope everyone is well and all your aerials are surviving the storms this weekend. I am able to come up on the 12th but I may not be around on the 22nd due to visiting family before Xmas although isn't certain at the moment. Well done Steve on your dx on the RSGB 2 mtr contest. Every time I listen on 2mtrs these days it is dead as a door nail. Anyway hope to work you on one of the nets before xmas.

Hi all,
Able to make? Thursday 12th at noon,? 22nd December less certain depending on whether the grandkids turn up on their "Santa Run"? hi hi. ? Noted Steve G4RFC still holds the G3GHN call.... seems a shame that that call cannot be reactivated for the nets. He is still at Blackheath on QRZ.com. Hope is in good health. I'll put the 12th in the diary and hover on 7170? +/- QRM .
