Did the Thursday evening net still go ahead then net controller but remotely from home at a guess due to covid restrictions and all..

There was no net or net controller on Thursday night, just a group of people chatting.

As i declared, i was on Ashdown Forest and i have had the police question me about being there.

I thought the east sussex police constabulary would have been aware of your residency at Ash Down forest 

What frequency on ssb is this please?

So would I, the amount of years I've been up there!  
Maybe they were new to the force?

Anyone on tonight?  I may have too much interference but am giving it a try (I don't get my temporary set up going very often at the moment)

Hi Cube

The net is taking a break due to the lockdown

But there may be small groups of homebase stations chatting  

Keep an eye on here for updates

Got my fingers crossed for Boris's announcment tomorrow.   Hoping outdoor leisure will soon be allowed again.

388 himself has informed me that the net should be resuming on the 11th March 2020 as outdoor recreation will be allowed again from the 8th.       Also, the Tuesday night AM and LSB nets will be back on from the 9th.   Just thought I'd mention it here for the benefit of non Facebookers like myself.

Thanks 26uk81.

Is the Facebook group called "Official Charlie Tango DX Facebook Page"?  I put in a request to join the group a few days ago but not approved yet.

In the meantime, am also interested in the Tuesday night AM and LSB you mentioned - is that also on 11m?  Just asking as until I take my Foundation exam (not booked but going through the material when I get small bits of time), I'm only on 11m (and have a lot of local noise)

Thanks.

This made for an enjoyable listen. Even though QRM from neighbours at home in the evening was high and was listening on a loft antenna on the flat side, still could here a number of stations, some loud like UK 81. Look forward to joining in during the summer when I can get out mobile with a vertical.

Where's your QTH mate I'm in similar position as yourself roll on summer and no lockdown restrictions!

Cirencester, 10 miles or so north of Swindon. There's a disused airfield about 7 miles north of me, it's on a bit higher ground than my home QTH and nice open all around. That's where I used to park up years ago and where I'll be heading out to when allowed again soon hopefully!

Yep good job as ever Nelly, it's great you keep it going from such a good vantage point up on the Berkshire Downs, you manage to include so many people (I came across the net completely by chance October last year flicking through channels), I think it really helps to keep people involved when it's otherwise a bit quiet. Hoping to liberate a few more stations from the QRM with a MFJ1026 and get up on a hill when I can.

I joined but was using the time to see what worked best with my MFJ1026 noise cancelling enhancer, to try to get some reception through the high local noise.  It's the best time to try when there are lots of other stations.  It's the first time I've managed to get any results with it.  (Will post in antenna discussion some more detail).

All I really managed to get was the following stations, though the MFJ did definitely cut some of the harsher interference making it easier to hear the stations I could receive.

Nelly - what do you use for power supply when mobile up on the Berkshire Downs so your car battery doesn't go flat?  Have you got some separate batteries?
