Wednesday the 3rd of August 2022 was another great evening for the Group.
We had intended to run 10m USB, with a go on 70cm, but the evening took a change in direction as Phil - M0KPH, during initial setup, realised he had forgotten to pack the 5/8 to SO239 adaptor! As such, Phil - M0KPH and Pete - M7PBM could only operate on 70cm and 2m, though 70cm did prove to be very difficult.
Phil - M0KPH and Pete - M7PBM decided to try a new location, parking up just off Helmshore Road at Holcombe. An ideal spot for HF, but the heavy tree cover to one side was no doubt the reason that 70cm was so poor.
Chris - M0LXG went to his usual spot over at Grain’s Bar, Oldham and had quite a success with 10m, speaking with Ashley - M0IXW and Pete - 2E0PGX, a station in Switzerland, and also being joined by Pat - M1BNH.
Ashley - M0IXW and Pete - 2E0PGX went back to Owd Betts, Rochdale and, apart from 70cm, had great success on the evening’s chosen bands. They also had the opportunity to display a club banner designed by Ashley - M0IXW. It’s always great to let people know who we are and to give them the opportunity to come and have a chat.
