@@timg5tm941 I've been there to buy stuff. I was like a kid in a sweet shop. First time I went there was the first time I'd been in an actual amateur radio shop since I used to hang out at Lowe Electronics in Cardiff back in the mid '80s.
So glad this event went well and thanks for your and the team's hard working putting it together. I wasn't able to take part but did hear G5TM on my Quansheng KV5 handie, here in Wokingham, Berkshire. Also heard High Wycombe and Hertford... I think!
Talk about racey traffic....! Tim. As a new-newbie I have a question.... Was this QSO a prearranged event like often I pick up here in Belgium organised by European ham groups do on HF ? Or was this you just calling out CQ? Peter Hume ON3VCF
Excellent, well done everyone that was involved. It's great to have so many people on VHF.
Thanks guys! All the net controllers enjoyed it. I’ll have to break my MLS (in person) duck one day and visit the store. 73
