Default Re: Burnham Beeches RC 75th Anniversary next Monday

Hi Sean,
Sorry not to work you. 5W AM and lowish mod levels don't really cut the mustard unfortunately.
We had only a small vertical for the AM station with huge background noise and no real contacts. But we managed a very local AM contact which was duly video recorded.

We had a lot of interesting displays all live, but unfortunately (and maybe sadly predictably) few visitors. It was great to see Rob there. In typical helpful Rob style it was he, the visitor who was making tea for the local operators - very welcome!

Anyway we all had a good time and learned a lot about new communication modes.

My KW2000B was put on the air and did a sterling job with 5/9 into Tyree in the Inner Hebrides, also on the same 7-8m wire vertical.

BBRC is now officially 75 yrs old!

Mods - this thread can now be put to bed - thanks.


-Jeremy
