I just want to say how much I enjoyed the Lighthouse weekend at Barns Ness at the weekend. Thank you to those who organised it. I totally appreciate the work that goes into planning and arranging these events.
Special thanks go to John Innes who abandoned me on 40 metres leaving me to it! I will see you later! I may not have made a lot of contacts but I made a few for my first time solo so I'm happy with that!
Any newbies worried about attending an event, don't, you will get lots of support and have fun at the same time!
Cheers
Issy
It might finally happen. I may have a spot for a shack this year. Any recommendations for an HF Antenna? Ideally something that is resonant on a number of bands (40-10) and doesn't require an external ATU. I've heard good things about Hexbeams.
A hex beam would work very well. Or a cobwebb if you can live without directivity
Thanks Brian Pickup, sorry, what's the difference?
Due to being kinda busy last few months i have not been using my radios but this is about to change. I have found 2m and 70cm almost dead most off the time, d star hit or miss and dmr busy at odd times. It looks as if to get more out off the hobby i have to go hf my question is whats the traffic like. In other words is it worth another transceiver and the ariel issues. What jas put me off so far is the ariel requirements. On a weird note i was out Lauder way in a pals landy who jad a old bog standard cb the other week and it rattled on most of the day with farmers talking.
You can start in HF with a simple dipole, cut for your band of choice, I can lend you a radio if you want to try it out.

Issy I'm sure there was ample training given before taking your stabilizers off 😂
Sure you coped admirably, see you at cqww. Easy contest xx
Issy you did very well and I am chuffed to bits that you have broken your duck. John leaving you was the right decision leaving you alone as it forced you to sort things out which you did admirably so next is CQWW in October with your 2 hour shift
You did brill kid 😊
