Isle of Muck Dxpedition GB0SIM

GB0SIM

The Isle of Muck is part of the Scottish Small Islands group along with Rhum, Eigg and Canna called the Inner Hebrides situated off the West Coast of Scotland and has a population of around 38 only.

Two of our Club members are taking part in the Isle of Muck Dxpedition starting 15th April for around 7 days. The planning for this Dxpedition has been maticulous, as the Island has no facilities for the team to buy anything, including food. Everything they need has to be taken with them on the journey, including all the ham gear.

The team is made up from Marcin-M0GLV, Kevin-M0KVK(m), Lyns-G0AZE, Nick-G0VQO, Steve-2E0NSQ, Steve-M0EBJ(m).

They plan operating on SSB, CW, and Digital FT8 throughout the week and will be using a whole different range of antenna for this including 40m phased verticals, dipoles for all bands and a vertical for 10m. They hope to work as many stations globally as possible whilst also introducing the hobby to the Islands children from a local school, and giving an incite into alternative communications for them.

Please listen out for the team from April 15th, and help support them by calling into them on every band and mode possible. Dont forget this is a seriously collectable call sign for any ham operator as there are no hams currently on the Island of Muck.

You can find all the information relating to the Dxpedition through QRZ.com GB0SIM QRZ or FaceBook page FaceBook Page

Rising to the Occasion FUNNY Tongue-in-cheek

bread

Tonight we found out that Kevin 2E0KVK has been on the bread line today “first time for everything Kevin”.

He thought he was going to make lots of dough in the posh part of Driffield.

Well he did make dough, Bread dough and all his loaves turned out great, rising to the occasion.

But did they live up to the scrutiny of his fellow hams at the radio club?

With it being Club night anyway, Kevin brought along his wares for his fellow hams to Sample .

Well in a interview Kevin wondered if he would ever make a Master baker, we are sure he said Master Baker?  .

Anyway the scores from the panel say’s it all Kevin well done.
