Hi all
The QSO with M4W (2010-09-05 08:55Z) during the VHF-contest last weekend
was one of my largest DX on 2m! I used a 4 element yagi, directed from
my 2nd QTH Lenk (1070m ASL) to the mountain Wildstrubel (3200m ASL). So
the QSO started with a reflection. My FT-857 was set to 25W.
As i can't read my manual log-entry, can you please verify your locater:
IO91DF or IO91DJ?

Thanks and all the best from Switzerland.
73 de Tom, HB3YWR

Late on Friday we decided to setup a small fun 2mtr contest station along side the trial single aerial HF station at a new contest site.
 
Due to Raynet committments I was not personally able to be around so we decided to run the hour section on Sunday morning, the aim was to try a new site and see how it compares to others, considering the band conditions are never the same on each contest we did pretty well.
 
M4W was used on this contest.
 
The contest log has been sumitted :-

A map of contacts can also been found:-

Considering we are using a fixed 5 ele beam we did very well.
 
Well done to all that helped in different ways James M1DST, Den M0ACM, Tony G4LDL, Marie-Ann M6UWS, Kev G6FOP, Jan M6FOP,Chris G4AJA.

Has anyone got a reasonable comms receiver that they want to sell? An elderly (older than me) gentleman has been in touch with me and he is desperate to get listening to amateur radio, possibly with a view to becoming licenced.  I just managed to stop him buying a 10m transceiver!]]> Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:17:08 +0000 http://www.sdarc.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1004&PID=2840#2840 for sale/wanted : AOR 3000A Multimode Scanner http://www.sdarc.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1003&PID=2839#2839 Author: 2EODBD

Not really a "for sale" item. I have been given an R107 receiver complete with it's metal carrying case (it's heavy!).  I haven't looked at it's condition yet but I understand it was in use up to a couple of years ago.  I am looking for a possible "good home" for it - perhaps a vintage museum of some sort.  If it looks as though it is worth something then it might be available for sale with the proceeds going to the organisation that gave it to me.

Thoughts and comments please!

Hi Rod,

I'm sure all of us at the club wish you the very best with your studies for the Intermediate. As many will vouch, there's still a great deal that you can do at Foundation level. 

If you're able to come down to the club, you will be more than welcome and there's lots of advice on hand to help you.

Once again, very well done and look forward to seeing you and hearing you on the air !

Many thanks to Tony and Den,
