This weekend saw more antenna mast maintenance down the orchard at the club.

The 160 and 80 meter antenna mast guys were in a sorry state and in danger of succumbing to high winds in the next storm.

An intrepid team of Andy G7LRR, Andrew G4XQY, John M0JBA, Steve M9NSQ and Pat M0PKE were led down the orchard by Mike and in no time at all the antennas had been stabilised and fixed for the next few years. Andy even had time to do a bit of topiary on one of the many pear trees, I expect a bonfire will be next.

 

Many thanks to all who attended, here is to a long uninterrupted season of HFDXARC on the airwaves.

This week sees the intrepid DX Expedition team of Kevin M0KVK, Marcin M0GLV and Nick G0VQO setting up on an island in Scotland (quite near the sea 😉 )

The Isle of Lewis Outer Hebrides Scotland

IOTA 010

After a long car ride they arrived last night (Saturday 11th April) and were immediately on the airwaves, raising contacts as far afield as Japan and New Zealand.

Keep an eye on their QRZ page and Facebook group for more information.
