Hi Apple Tree.

I've not been able to get out on the radio since i made that comment and i was hoping that the guys would have moved from the tapacrap forum to here and continued the reports.
Now i'm able to get out and about i will start my reports again.

When calling into a net, it will help the net Chair/Controller to identify you above other QSK's if you use a handle, name or callsign with you QSK.

Good to have you and the logs back,

Being a mobile/portable station, having no van has been a right pain in the a   e.

Will be trying tonight weather permitting

I would like to put up my listlog from last night but it appears the 60 pages of previous logs are no longer available or am I just not seeing them ???????

Hi Neil

There not here yet!
I'm hoping over time, Lee and the rest of the Admin team will be able to transfer the log history of the SSB net here, as it would be a shame to lose it.

But I would post your reports here from now on.

Hi Tim

As John said, you should be able to get into the Thursday night SSB on channel 39 mid-block (27.395 USB), even more so if you can get to high ground.

Hi. Neil.

Congrats real cracking net good contacts spread over E.U. I hope

Hi Neil
14CT010 is Adrian (the mod) who is in Carcassonne SW France. I am just about to help him erect a Himalya WB and that should do better than the mobile antenna inside his apartment in the middle of the city!
How he gets out I really don't know. If I don't fall asleep in front of the telly I will have a go next Thurs.
73s to all
Ian 14CT007

Hi. Ady/Ian.

Congrats Ady on getting into Southern net. I thought it might be
U. You'll have to give it a try Ian while there's some EU. E. 73's
Mike.

It was good to get into the net the other day. I'm glad you heard my QSK. I'll be able to do a lot better when I've got my Himalaya WB put up. Ian 14CT007 is going to help me with that. Unti the next time.
