Thanks to the organisers of this really enjoyable event; well worth the 460 mile drive each way from Salisbury. The presentations were good and there was plenty of time to chat and view the items for

Hello Andy, When I have driven between Salisbury and Blandford, monitoring GB3SCK from Bell Hill (BEFORE WE LOWERED THE HEIGHT OF THE MAST), I could receive it on the hill tops and as I got nearer to

Providing the weather forecast for Sunday is correct (no rain) I intend to be out with 24, 47 and 76GHz. Depending on location of other stations I will probably operate in the Stockbridge (IO91GC68) a

Hi Dave, Further to my post of a few minutes ago, I've just checked the 6cm Farnham beacon and it is 599++ (virtually end stop) so there is a lift on at the moment. I'll monitor the 9cm beacon over th

Hello Dave, Just got round to listening for the new Farnham 3.4GHz Beacon. It is currently 599 and a fairly steady signal (tower in lowered position and beaming straight into the trees that screen the

I should be QRV on 24, 47 and 76GHz. Probable locations are Salisbury Plain area and south west Hampshire. Times from about 09:00UTC. Talkback, mainly 144.390 (+/- QSY), and possibly KST. 73 Neil G4LD

Hello Martyn, Just checked the Farnham beacon, GB3FNM on 2320.920MHz and I can't hear it, normally 599+++ here. Not hearing the Leicester Beacon GB3LES on 2320.955MHz but don't monitor it very often.

Neil, With my terrestrial 10GHz system I get a fraction of a dB over what EMECalc predicts. 73 Neil.

I'm planning to be QRV on 6cm and on 3cm (providing I can fix a proplem with the TX on that band). Callsign: G4LDR Locator: IO91EC02 Bands: 5.7GHz 15W 1.5m dish 10GHz 25W 1.0m dish Talkback: ON4KST, 1

Hello Chris and Roger, Well done on your first two way contact. I know the tremendous effort you have both put in to build, align and test your systems. I hope you manage to extend the range perhaps w

Hi Ed, The activity was supposed to be around 08:00 this morning, (4th July), unfortunately I had an appointment in Salisbury this morning so was unable to listen. The activity on 20th July from Goonh

Hello John, Weather permitting I will be QRV on the 24, 47 and 76GHz bands. As agreed with others at RAL I'll probably be operating in an area including Salisbury Plain and north west Hampshire hoping

This issue has been present for a number of years. I agree with Ralph, it does (sometimes) appear to be related to which access point you are using and in which country that access point is (i.e. depe

Yesterday I attended the funeral of Mike G3JVL at Hayling Island. At the funeral Charlie Suckling, G3WDG, spoke about Mike's amateur radio achievements including the development of G3JVL quad loop ant

Hi John, I've been using leaf scatter for monitoring GB3SCK on 24GHz for many years when my tower is wound down (normal position here unless operating). I have to elevate the dishes by about 15deg. Wi

That is excellent Chris and Roger. I look forward to reading more about it in Scatterpoint. 73 Neil G4LDR

I am happy with the date change to the 23rd but as others have pointed out that clashes with other events. I would also be happy if it were changed to a Saturday for example the 15th June. (Martyn G3U

Don’t forget that most people use mobile phones which are transmitting at microwave frequencies and they hold them against their head! Neil G4LDR

Hello Nick, You only need to register once to operate on 2320MHz and then re-register after 3 years. Regarding restrictions, providing you are not near one of the restricted areas there are no restric

Now that I can send messages again (just like Andy I've had problems getting onto the Yahoo site, as most of the time I was re-directed to my BT login page, just occacionally it would work), I would l
