Railways on the air part 2

G3JKL and G4CHD

A very productive 2 days with nearly 300 QSO’s in the log. We had to take down the aerial after the first day, so Terry, Mike W, Mike H and John arrived at 9.30 and got the station back up and running by 10.10. Things were off to a slow start with poor propagation, but picked up as the morning went on, and by close of play at 4pm we were back to pileup conditions. All in all, a very successful and enjoyable weekend. eQSL cards have now been sent to all in the log. Thank you to all who took part, and to the Bideford Heritage railway for being so helpful and accommodating. Hopefully we will be back next year.

Foundation exam passes…

We were asked to do Foundation Licence exams for 5 candidates, which we were of course more than happy to do. I’m pleased to say they all passed, some with a maximum score. Invigilators were John G3JKL and Mike G4KXQ. All are planning to continue their studies and take the Intermediate next year.
