@G4NSJ The Kenwood TS-570D, what a lovely radio that is. We used one for many years as our main radio at Amberley Museum. We would probably still be using it today, if one of our members hadn't died a few years ago and bequeathed us his Icom IC-7300. 73!

The KW E-Zee Match installed.

The third 433 Alive activity event is this afternoon between 1300 and 1600 BST. Not a contest, but simplex FM contacts on #70cms I will be at Epsom Downs with the Sutton and Cheam ARS using their club callsign G2XP. Calling on 433.500MHz then QSY. #UHF #amateurradio #hamr

An #AmateurRadio contact took place this lunchtime between the #internationalspacestation and a Girl Guiding event in Surrey. Here is my #VHF reception on 145.800MHz using a homemade antenna and a cheap #Baofeng handheld. youtube.com/watch?v=ZVdyxw…

Tomorrow, Thu 8 Aug, is #InternationalCatDay. GB4CAT is on air from Thu PM until Sun evening. Activity on HF bands, mainly 40m. As cats are loved internationally, Ed, M0MNG will attempt to speak as many foreign languages on the air as possible! FFI: QRZ.com #hamr

📆 This year, International Lighthouse and Lightship weekend will run from 0001UTC on 17 August to 2400UTC on 18 August. The event usually attracts more than 500 lighthouse entries located in over 40 countries. You can read more at: illw.net #hamr #amateurradio

Lots of interest from the public this morning at the GB 8O FP (Ferring Pillbox) station. They have already reached their goal of contacting the Normandy beaches on HF.

@G4GUO I went down to visit later on, and HF conditions had definitely improved. They had a very nice collection of antennas and radios. I'm sure they will be successful on Thursday - they deserve to be. I'll be listening on 40m, 2m and 70cms. 73 from Ed M0MNG.

W.R.E.G is at Ferring pillbox this morning doing a practice for their 6th of June activation. HF conditions don't look very promising this week.

On Friday 3 May, the Lord Lieutenant of West Sussex, Lady Emma Barnard, presented Amberley Museum volunteers with the prestigious King’s Award for Voluntary Service We are thrilled that the commitment and contribution of our Volunteers has been recognised with this award.

@theRSGB These were my results on 15 meters, TX and RX from Sunday morning to Tuesday evening. 5 Watts from my IC7300 into my inverted-V 40 meter dipole, acting as a 3 x 1/2 waves antenna. I hope the data helps :-) It was good fun and thanks to the RSGB for the idea. 73 from Ed M0MNG.

📣The RSGB would also like to thank all the WSPR users who responded to Gwyn’s call to action, got involved and shared their results on the RSGB social media channels 👏 👏 👏

These were the results of running #wspr on 15 meters before, during and after the #SolarEclipse2024 as per @theRSGB request. Hopefully my results will help with the 'big picture' when studying ionospheric propagation data. It was fun! #amateurradio #hamr

As per @theRSGB request to transmit & receive #wspr before, during and after #SolarEclipse2024, I'm active from Sun morning until Tues eve on 15 meters (21MHz). Running 5 Watts from my IC7300 into my inverted V 40 meter dipole. Results so far. #hamr #AmateurRadio #propagation

A total #SolarEclipse2024 will head toward UK from west on Mon 8 Apr RSGB Propagation Committee associate member Gwyn Griffiths, G3ZIL encourages occasional WSPR users to dust off transmitters to operate from Sun 7 Apr through to Tue 9 Apr FFI: rsgb.org/main/blog/news… #hamr

Easter Saturday (30 March) is the first "433 Alive" activity day. Make simplex contacts for the pleasure of it on #70cms #FM between 1200 and 1500 approx. #hamradio #amateurradio #UHF #DX youtube.com/watch?v=I-lHv8…

@fesshole You could say that it is 999 and you had it done during the pandemic as a tribute to the emergency services and the NHS :-)

I've recently started a new job at a Primary School which I love. However, it is a Church of England school and I have a 666 tattoo on my leg. Scared for summer to start as it will be on show and I'll probably lose my job.

@EssexHam My local radio club? :-)

This week, Essex Ham has been mostly playing the role of Judith in this sketch: youtu.be/55fqjw2J1vI?si… - can anyone guess who we’ve been dealing with?

Many congratulations to Andy G0IBN on being appointed the honorary president of the Essex CW Club @ecwarc at the Canvey Island Rally yesterday. youtube.com/watch?v=51t-2S…

Don't forget the Canvey Rally is on Sunday 4 February at Cornelius Vermuyden School, Canvey, Essex, SS8 9QS. The Rally is expected to be the usual hive of activity with plenty of traders on site. For more information contact Richard Stanley on 07725 551 263 #amateurradio #hamr

@frankmhowell @K7AGE That was the first thing that went through my head as well! I honestly believe that Burch Bacharach and Hal David never wrote a bad song. B J Thomas singing 'Raindrops' is one of my all-time favourites. You have great taste, Frank! 73 from Ed M0MNG.

Rain drops are falling on my roof at #quartzfest. A minute later the rain has stopped. Don’t think the rain will amount to much. %hamradio
