In the car “mobile” for WPX. About 13 hrs so far this weekend all search and pounce. Another 8-9 hours tonight. MIGHT get near to 650-700 QSOs and around 350-400k points. We shall see.
En-route to testing a new mobile HF set up before the WPX contest this weekend.. Costa first though!!
Not too bad with 100w, mixture of little tarheel and Ampro hamsticks plus the shack / capacitive ground from the Ford Mondeo.
Listen out for the boys at G2EC (Royal signals ARS) pulling out the stops to be a big signal in this weekend’s WPX SSB contest. Great bunch of chaps and I’m sure you’ll hear them on all contest bands 160-10 💥
Great to work @wgoodf.bsky.social a few days ago when out doing a POTA
Cloud formation known as “The Swiss Tony”
Just watched a replay of the RSGB AGM from Saturday. The pre-submitted questions saw more “forward defensive strokes” in the replies than in the nets the day before a test match. The words eel and slippery spring to mind…
WPX 561 Q’s 395k points .. need sleep
All search and pounce using either a Tarheel HF screwdriver antenna or mono band hamsticks. 21 hours from the car across the weekend.
WPX raw scores are out. 21 hours in the car bellowing into a mic doing search and pounce.. the results..
