The first Chili's grown in 2010 at the QTH YAY a few more days of sun should see them ripen.
Secondly I now have a rotator and kevlar guys for the masts, people will hear me on air from Heysham Classic Car Show using the call GX1MBR

IOTA 2010
|
This is the first year I've done IOTA and we (Sands Contest Group) used Verticals instead of dipoles so that was rather interesting, not only that we dumped wintest for N1MM contest logging software so there where many many new skills to be learned. What did we learn though? We learned to work more consistently as a team, we learned more of others strengths and weaknesses and most importantly we worked a hell of a lot of weak signal stations :)

IOTA weekend and more additions
|
next weekend is the RSGB's flagship IOTA Contest and yours truly will be operating with the Sands Contest Group under the callsign M0SCG. Also I've Purchased a 2m cubic quad for contesting which is rather nice so look out for me on 2m contesting

|
new addition
|
Just aquired a 2m tonna cross element beam for a massive £20.00 so now we have the 2m all mode sorted, and the rotator now all we need to sort is 70cm and 23cm now plus guying materials

Additions to the shack
|
I've just purchased a satelite rotator, capable of moving a pair of 2m dishes, if it can cope with that it should be able to cope with a 2m and 70cm Beam on top (possibilities of even a 23cm beam?)
I've also just sorted my data mode issue out too. Now I have a few things more for sale or exchange on the exchange page.
