Hi Al, What a shame, Elaine and I will be in Llandudno but not till 19th, we plan to activate The Great Orme for SOTA and also try some 11M Mobile. Would have been great to have got some Qso's with you. Would have been even better to travel over and catch up face to face, it must be over 12 years since we have eyeballed?? Good Luck, hopefully locals will get you mobile? 73 Tony

Hi. Just got back from Anglesey, was there last week. It was pretty quiet up there radio-wise whilst I was there but did have a chat with a bloke called Kenny who gets up on the side of Snowdon.
I'm not sure if you have been to Anglesey before but I thoroughly enjoyed my trip there, I was staying at Llanbadrig near Cemaes. Having been to Snowdonia many times, I planned to do a couple of trips out that way, but was totally captivated by the island. I was blessed with fab weather and hopefully it stays OK for you. If you like planes, I can recommend Rhosneiger beach. A lovely beach but also with regular flyovers of Hawks from Valley... Have a great trip.

Had a radio on the 555 all afternoon yesterday. I did hear voices in the back of the box but didn't think they where english but couldn't hear then that well. Will put it on again today from around 10am to around 6pm.
