GB2RAF AIR DEFENCE RADAR MUSEUM RAF NEATISHEAD RAFARS PERMANENT S.E.S.
On Sat 9 Dec I contacted 36 stations (on my own again) and for the first
hour I had a chat with G3RAF/G0PFR Jim and G2AFV Peter on 3.710 and we put
the world right Hi
Conditions Fair on 80m, 40m was good with QSB at times, so I stayed on
7.075 most of the day. I did go on the key on different bands a few times
and it paid off. At 1440Z I had a CW QSO with W4UQ in Florida on 14.013.
GB2RAF should be QRV every 2nd Saturday of the Month 1000-1500 hrs local
on SSB or CW on 80m or 40m if conditions are poor. For full information
