    You ARE one of the big guns of portable operation!

    That look a nice Summit and you certainly had decent WX for this one. Well done James and nice pile up on 20m. 73 Chris M0RSF

      Thanks Chris. I always seem to get a pile-up on Fan Fawr. I've just looked through my back catalogue and I had a pile-up the last time I operated there. Probably has a particularly good take off?
      That summit has been good to me over the years!

      I'm sure there'll be plenty more opportunities. Maybe next time.

    Beautiful day for being outdoor on HF radio. How nice is listening far from man-made noise, isn’t it? Looking at you I thought to suggest you one thing used on aviation. It’s called kneeboard and it can come in very handy. There are different models also with light for dark operation. Take a look at yourself because I think I cannot paste links here.
    All the best

      Hi Diego. The low noise is a definite benefit of operating portable!
      Good suggestion about the knee board. I might still have one laying around the house somewhere from my flying days (my pilots licence has lapsed now unfortunately).

      @@AmateurRadioUK what a coincidence! I used the board back in the days during my vfr training flight. Today I’m a commercial pilot, and believe it or not I miss those days of real flying. What a pitty for your license. Maybe one day you’ll be back…
