Yes. Think it’s St.Peter Port

P&O Ventura.

Hi Phil. Hope liberation day went ok. I’m coming to Guernsey on a cruise in July

I’m buying stocks whilst they are low

Interesting Saturday morning…. BARTG HF RTTY… SOAB6 category.

Are there any RPi OS gurus on here????

Let’s hope EE get their act together today and deliver the router. Currently, cluster is on a “spare” router which I had to buy!

I avoid going to give the chance for people who have more serious issues to see a doctor than me.(I also have a needle phobia!)

A UFO???

Not sure Phil. But we are looking into it. It’s been going on for a while.

Looks nice Phil!

The parts are starting to arrive for the ground up rebuild of the GB7VAX DXCluster. All going to be running on the RPi 5.

My interest in RTTY has been realised again!!! Looking for MMTTY macro files now!

They’re great,,, however… Don’t forget to take it out of your wallet going through an airport.🤯

I bought a few for my Weller solder station. 1mm tip for a foray into SMT components and a few others for through hole and soldering RG213

Weller?

First service for the VAXmobile tomorrow… Call me sceptical,, but I’ve used a paint marker on all the bolts, screws and housings that should be removed when servicing…..

Next job…. Get the Yaesu FT-1XDE Handie charged and programmed up the same as the FTM-100XDE and 400XDE

Severe (G4) geomagnetic storm now in progress. Visible aurora at middle latitudes likely if it is dark outside. SolarHam.com

That’s the FTM-100XDE set up in the shack. All repeaters in 60 miles of me programmed in. Now to do some reading how to use FUSION

Radio is now fitted and APRS is set up (I think!!!), just got to work out C4FM Fusion repeaters..

One step closer to the radio back in the car… roof rail mount fitted. Thinking of powering radio from power outlet in the boot…..

Port with a plate full of cheese and crackers…. Mmmmmm…. How civilised!!

Do carabiners count Linda?

Well, most of the bits are here to fit the Yaesu FTM-400 into the car. I need an auto electrician close to Wirral to fit a power cable from the battery through to the boot so I can terminate in the cab and boot with Powerpoles.

It’s a nice drink

Thankfully… after today,, the days are starting to get longer.

Thanks Linda. I think I’ll stay with magmount then. Don’t want to mark new car.

Has anyone any experience of the glass mounted dual band antennas??

Started to fit the Yaesu FTM-400 into the Skoda Kodiaq. Thought out well it will be a “cable free” job
