Mills OTA weekend was a superb success

Posted on by

The Club opened the doors yet again to guests and ham clubs around the region, and turned out to be a massive success. The Club house was packed throughout the activation of the Haven Mill during the Mills On the Air weekend.

We had many people come join us, and we also welcomed old friends to the club house as many have not seen the new QTH at Patrington.

The event itself was very busy, and we had 3 stations running for the majority of the time, gaining us many more friends around the world. The operators worked tirelessly through even the relatively poor conditions for the weekend.

The response from other Hams was what can only be described as superb, and we would like to thank every one of them for the support.

The weekend was more about bringing the club and community together, and bringing awareness of the hobby to many who have never been on a radio. Also to support local Clubs from around the region so we may build a successful relationship with the local hams.

Again many thanks to everyone who took part over the weekend and to each guest that came to visit us.
Sue we hope you recover soon, we need our 80m queen back at the radio.

The GB0KCC Weekend by Sue M6URG

GB0KCC WEEKEND

Wow, what a weekend was had at the club. Two first’s for me this weekend. My ‘first’ special event for the King’s Coronation – GB0KCC and with that came my first ever pile up – jeepers what an experience that was. Everyone at the club was super supportive giving me advice but I do have to say the best piece of advice came from Kev- M0KVK – The frequency is mine and I can take it at my own pace. This really helped so thanks Kev!
I had a short stint on 20m to give Kev a comfort break then Tappy – 2E1TAP thought he would copy Kev and have one for himself also. I took over and he forgot to come back – rumor has it he has a habit of doing that. I had the husband – Chris G0URG at the side of me on 80m craftily telling people my frequency and sending them my way, Kev at the other side on 20m doing the same – cheers guys!!
Monday night I had another ‘bash’ at the RSGB 80 M Club Championship. Loved every minute of it and had the boys – Andy –G7LRR & Steve – M0EBJ running scared. Watch out boys I am coming for you!!
If you are looking at joining the club or even getting into the hobby give these guys a shout.

Thanks to everyone at the club for your support – Sue M6URG

Shack Upgrades

Posted on by

Well this weekend will see the start of upgrades to the shack, new band-pass filters for 160 80 40 20 15 10 meters will be fitted over the next month which have all been re-tuned By Nick G0SDI and Andy G7LRR. What a massive job this was and getting the filters in situe without altering the tuning and keeping an SWR was very frustrating ( as anyone who has undertaken this job will know ).

These filters also work hand in hand with a set of Coax stub filters that work on the high power side that all have to be tuned to complement the band-pass filters. 

New cat7a cable to go in for the network over the month, which is a total new layout of cable throughout the mill. We are also automating the rotator which was always one of the jobs on the “to do” list.

keep coming back for more updates as we go along.
