@ChrisG1VDP Like the photo of Dave and Dennis Who? 😀

An excellent morning, and good fun. It was nice to attend a small local show rather then one of the big events. Next one Blackpool in 3 weeks time, see you there.

@ChrisG1VDP I’ve dumped one account on Twitter and think this one will follow. It’s been crap since Elon took over.

So the boffins (developers) at X have changed something so we now can't see who we are following - well not the latest posts - unless we go onto "For You". Another Anti Social media f**k up.

@ChrisG1VDP Congratulations Chris. Well deserved

Another award for on the shack wall. Arrived today, after supposed to have been diverted to work for delivery on Tuesday. Well at least I now don’t have to wait in tomorrow for postman Pat to turn up.

@ChrisG1VDP Have a cracking day Chris and a good old slurrp later 🎄 🎅🏻

Morning Crimble Munchkins. Half day today, the work Christmas party. A trip to a posh restaurant in Canterbury. So maybe some drunken photos later. Have a greeeeeeaaaaaaaat day y’all.

@bawdseyradar I listened to the whole podcast today whilst out in my car. Very interesting.

The first episode of the podcast series Echoes of Bawdsey - The Story of Radar is now available. Series 1 Episode 1 ‘ The Bomber Will Always Get Through’. Sound mirrors and Zeppelins! #radarlove open.spotify.com/episode/3QvF97…

@ChrisG1VDP See you and spider man at the club later 😀🕷️

So they are unblocking the drains, must be all that…. Hope my window cleaner comes tomorrow, and he said he would wear a Spider-Man suit…

@f5len Radio, Friends and great food. Salut

@ChrisG1VDP Probably heading to Felixstowe or Thamesport. They block signals on the microwave bands as they are so big. Lots of wind farms off shore.

I thought the wind farm was only a couple of miles offshore, but a Googly check shows them at 5 1/2 miles away. That boat is probably at least another mile beyond them. How does something that big & heavy stay afloat?

@theRSGB An interesting presentation. Enjoyed my weekend at the RSGB convention.

This afternoon’s #RSGBconvention programme is not to be missed. Hans Summers, G0UPL from QRP Labs is currently live introducing the concept of polar modulation SSB, along with the story of the practical implementation of polar modulation SSB in the QRP Labs QMX and QMX+ transceivers Join live rsgb.org/livestream #amateurradio #hamr

@ChrisG1VDP See you this weekend at the RSGB convention. Phil G0JBA

A little grey out there this morning. Friday, must be RSGB Convention weekend. See you at Kents Hill later.

@ChrisG1VDP Herne Bay is a nice place Chris. You’ll get sorted in time.

Good morning from a blustery Herne Bay. Only 3 more silly Monday morning drives to go, well there may be some odd ones after then. But I think getting up and a walk along the seafront will be the new norm in the future.

@TringWeather The end of summer is near

@g0lbk Well done David. I couldn’t do that now my eyesight is too poor.

I've had this lna kit knocking around for a year or so. The tiny SM components put me off because my hands shake a little and my eyesight isn't perfect anymore. I started in the conservatory today with all its natural light. 50% built before it got too warm...

@ajr6400 Thanks Andy

@JbaG0 Well done. Andy G6MRI.Herne Bay

I have been out operating portable on the 47GHz band. I had a QSO with Denis, G0OLX/P. Distance of 50km, antennas used 20db Horn and 85mW RF power. Between the town of Margate, South East England JO01QJ and Frinton on Sea JO01PT. Signal Reports of RST 55 on SSB. Phil G0JBA

@G1PPA I saw the mail and glad you had an opportunity to test with someone rather than just the beacon reception. 73

Went out to 03 to test 85 cm dish on 3 and 6 cm not much activity on SSB, a few experimenting with Q65, thanks Dave ASR for test’s while I tried to sort my elevation out good weather with nice breeze

@m0taz Most excellent Zoom 😀

@JbaG0 Are they surface mount, and you have a very good phone 🤣

Swapping out some capacitors. This one had a good life and lasted 40 years.

@m0taz Have a smashing adventure 😀

Ready for a new adventure? Day 1, arrived in Seattle yesterday and decided to just rest. We are 8 hrs behind the UK, so we arrived after a 10 hrs flight, just 2 hrs after we had left home. Today we pick up the QE2 for a cruise into Alaska. #travel #explore #oneworld
