Monday 10/10/2011


Back from the RSGB Convention after a very busy weekend. Denis (M0NDJ) has put a new HF antenna at the Scout Hall. This is an offset dipole which we tested Monday night.  This worked very well and should be a great asset during JOTA and other operating events.

Saturday we took part in JOTA assisting 7th Banstead Scouts in this event.  We operated 2 metres and HF, had some fun with Morse and APRS and got the young Beavers and Scouts to make their own QSL Cards.

This was a very satisfying event for us, resulting in some very happy youngsters.

Tim (2E0TTA) and I (Martin M1MRB) would like to thank all helpers:

Neil  (M0ZEY) and Chris (2E0CTH) for HF and Morse
Mick (2E0RBH) for the QSL card templates
Andy for APRS
And the Scouts with Licences who helped Ales (M0WOJ) Laurence (M3NVK) and Zachary (M6ZLP)
But most of all our thanks to Karen for doing shopping and bringing the tea, milk and biscuits.
