Congratulations are in order to Valerie Terry on passing her Foundation exam on Saturday,
Val has worked hard for this and with no Electrical or radio background has done very well indeed.
Once again well Done Val from all at the Club.
This weekend saw the club up-routed and moved on over to a country location in the North Yorkshire for this years SSB Field Day.
The location sourced for this year was amazing, with a zero noise floor and lovely views over open fields. This was an idyllic location for any radio operation. I think that we will be using it again for future outings.
From the start of the contest, members were on the radio clocking stations from all over, and continued to do so until the early hours of the morning. After a couple hours sleep, and a refuel of coffee, off they were again continuing to as many stations as possible until the end of the contest, at 2pm (local).
Many thanks to those that attended and made the weekend so successful; the results of which can be found here.
Friday saw a visit from a fellow SOTA friend of Dave G4ASA. Mike 2E0YYY was in the region and came along with Dave to our club night. Within no time at all, Mike was on the radio and working a pile up on 40m with Dave in the hot seat logging.
Friday night saw the start of our annual Lighthouse weekend activation for ILLW. Kevin 2E0KVK (AKA) Bear Grylls got into action and worked a large pile up on 20m from the USA and Caribbean Islands well into the wee hours of the night.
The club members, as always, will be camping over the full weekend so the radio should be manned most of the time. We expect 40m and 20m to be very busy throughout Saturday.
Please look out for us on the bands over the weekend.
Steve cheeky bones 2E0NSQ and Bob Smiler M0RWL set the dress code for the weekend as the happy glampers – joined at the hip and set to storm the airways.
Please listen out for them, for we are sure you will want to comment on this comedy duo.
