Thanks Paul. That's lots more than I could get.

As a temporary fix would AA batteries work ok? I haven't ordered a radio yet and would only be portable very occasionally?

Sounds like a simple fix. I've noticed today that an are a few minutes walk from me has become a POTA site. Not sure how discreet you can be there though it's a tiny area. Is your 12v or 9v?

What happened when you tried ssb?

is that a qmx?

My bits from an hour and half a few days ago. The gold hammered is the other half of my earlier find a few weeks back.

Ooo err

Yep no contact unfortunately but spotted nonetheless.

I was once spotted in the canary islands and this year in Sardinia. Not enough hours in the day to play. That and the shack is roasting.

That's mental

What's your set up there? Ant and rig?

Thanks chaps. Will be ordering some soon.

Hi Dale. Slightly off topic... What coax do you use for your portable operating?

Thanks Paul. I Thought it was an Edward farthing. My son knew who Thomas Cranmer was as soon as I told him. We searched for about an hour for the other half. It's out there somewhere. We're back in bury st Edmunds in two weeks for my sister's wedding might pop back into the museum while we're there.

Happy days. I'll keep an eye on my 6m screen for you. Yep still 5w here. Not played radio too much recently just too many other distractions. Still hoping to get into sdr one day when finance allows.

Hi Dale! Remember me? This is my first post on blue sky! What were you using for 6m?
