Firstly a Shout Out to John 2E0GTQ – Get Well Soon John from all at the Club !!!!
Just a quick update this week. We had a really good session on HF testing the 20m Hawkins on a Drive On Mount. Despite the evenings drawing in plenty of contacts were made using the Club’s IC-7300. We also tested the SD card and recorded some auto CQ’s for future Ops.
Jenni M0HZT operated as GX3VRE on the 144 Mhz UKAC and had some interesting contacts in lifty conditions. Jenni held out and worked G4FZN/P in IO94 before heading home. Here’s a view of where she worked:

Meanwhile there was lots of interesting chats with Brian 2E0FOW and Alan G6YCG discussing the virtues of Talk Groups on various DMR repeaters – always good to share knowledge and experiences. Here we see them deep in DMR discussion:
Brian and Alan talking DMR – Note the Bluetooth Speaker just to the left of Alan’s (as he sees it) Anytone AT-878. Quite an impressive sound !
Our last image this week shows Merfyn M0HWA and Phil 2E0CXH discussing HF Operating with the IC-7300 close by.
Until next time – best 73
