Today the South Bristol Amateur Radio Club were at the former Midsomer Norton South railway station operating #GB0SDR as part of Railways on the Air marking the 200th anniversary of the first passenger train service

We had great fun and members will be back on site tomorrow

Day 2 of 2 operating #GB0SBM from #SlatfordBrassMill in #MillsOnTheAir

Propagation was against us, only adding ~20 QSOs to our log

Rain and storms skirted us and we were packed away before the only major rain event of the day

Unfortunately mobile phone coverage at our #MillsOnTheAir site is poor, and there is no WiFi available either, so we are not able to "live post"

Here are a few pictures from #SaltfordBrassMill on Saturday 10 May 2025

We hoped to live post from today's "Airfields on the Air" but being"out in the sticks" we had poor coverage

After it took the best part of 2 hours to send our frst post on another platform we dicided to just get on with the radio side of business

Flat conditions improved but only 33 contacts

#FRAM2HAM is an upcoming SpaceX/Dragon mission that will be in polar orbit and will be sending #SSTV as part of an @arissintl.bsky.social competition at low power on 70cm

As a taster and to help with station setup and honing of skills they are replicating some of the key conditions from the #ISS

Just spotted this in the other place. It looks like #G4HLN isn't on here yet so just to maximise coverage:

Based on 176 interactions with 86 people over the past 24 days

We've just spotted this about the forthcoming Wiltshire Radio Rally on 1 December 2024.

Due to the current weather parking will be more controlled than it has been in past years.
