It's been a long time coming 😁but it's here NOW. I just need to learn how to drive it 😉.

their plugs are great quality "expensive" but worth the extra forhow well they last ,i use all m&p cables and plugs now from 7mm for the lower down bands to 10mm for vhf/uhf and 13mm for eme and definatly noticed the difference after changing

many happy returns ,hope its a great day for you 👌😘

HF now for probably close on 2 years in full sun,wind and rain( im in gm land 😉😆) and its still nice and supple and standing up to the weather ok .

hi phil for what its worth i quite like it ,its nice to work with and flexible .although i dont do much at all with hf i do like 6m and use it to feed a a halo and previusly an HB9CV on 6 i also use it on a qfh for 137mhz where it does a decent job , ive had a run up to my OCFD for TBC

Thats the front plate ,back plate,ribs and fibreglass antenna support done just the outer band and mid band to fit and the ultralight dish frame is complete and ready for the mesh .jiuggling between 2 masts and the dish at the moment seems to be taking forever 🤨

😉🤞,fixed the sequencer issue this afternoon so very qrp tx is now a plus as well. ill clear some of the shrapnel off the boom in morning and hopefully see a little improvement again from that if any big guns are on.Be better"hopefully"when ive finished a dish and the lna,..... "onward and upward"😉👌

Its been a long time getting here but at LAST ive managed to get a RX signal or 2 off the moon on 1296mhz ,still a very long way to go but at least now theres light at the end of the tunnel.,get a bit of the clutter off the boom and try that i think next

it seems that way to me as well😢

👌😆😆

Map showing current VHF propagation.

I am an amateur radio operator who maintains the real-time HF+ and VHF propagation sites.

The HF map has two modes: global activity per band and propagation unique to the user's location.

The VHF map is useful for showing areas of enhanced propagation, typically tropospheric ducting.

any the same back to you guys 😉 hope its nice and easy and runs smoothly for you 🤞👍

heres hoping you have a great day ,whatever you do 👌

My writing is like that as well ,nae body can read it ........ "even me "🤣🤣🤣

was interesting here at the pointy end of the solway for a few minutes ,all antenners were disconected and grounded just in case ,

worse things to be ending the day with😉,just dropping much cooler here

a friends son had a pump around 3 years ago and still struggles with it on a regular occurence ,fingers crossed for you though . they do help even things out when they are running right, replacements come from canada within 24 hrs so brilliant after sales so to speak

struggling with bad qrm here dale ,ill leave you to it ,it seems your wanted😉👌 got the contact though, enjoy your day, im off to do my chores 👍cul

7.192 is clear for me

getting too much bleed over from .195 here

you still there
?

no bad here ,plenty of sun a few clouds and 22 degC,we are due a few showers mid day ish to start cooling it down a tadge

😆👌

thats seriously clear over some areas 👍unfortunately not at the pointy end of the solway firth 🙄

more than i do at the moment😆

dont jest 😆 ,been trying to finish 2 x 23cm yagis (long long story🙄) and get some sort of antenna up for 6m since storm eowyn came through and shredded virtualy every antenna i had "and mast 🙄". chucked up a cheap and chearfull halo to replace the hb9cv which was a pain in the arse to lower anyway 🤞

Guessing mebee 40 ish for both stations yesterday🙄.grabbed a few bunkers and sotas but bands were open and closed within minutes. Right place right time won the Q🤷‍♂️

no sure on the totals over the 2 days yet,had 1 station on 7mhz and 1 on 14 plus hunting around the bands but sunday was brutal band conditions and saturday was mostly disconected due to lightning .it was more a celebration of our namesakes birthday and to acknowledge what he did for amature radio

🤞
