Great antenna set up for amateur radio but living out in the country no problem thanks another great vlog we are frozen in at this marina so looking at your clip with that lovely day makes it even colder outside 😂😂
Unlikely to be CB/27MHz by the looks of those impressive twigs. Agree that a lot of it is HF. My guesses are a (i) a species of VHF Co-linear (?), (ii) a quarter-wave of some sort (?) (iii) an HF Quad maybe on a rotator and (iv) a multi-band Discone. That lot put my G5RV to shame! The canal will give an excellent ground-plane earth. Proper kit. CW G2DVP
Please dont take this the wrong way as I am a fan of your vlogs. You remind me of Barney from the Flintstones, the hair perhaps? Anyway, did you ever fancy continuing on the Severn to Shrewsbury?
Ha ha ha yabba dabba doo. I didn't want to stay on the Severn at that time of year. My mate who was a couple of days behind me got caught in the rains and the river went up by 3-4 feet over night. He said it was scary so I'm glad I got off it when I did. Thanks for your comment. Made me laugh.
@@NarrowboatWill Great stuff. I was in Shrewsbury earlier this year and saw the leftovers of the previous flooding, so I get that. We have a boat on the Coventry which we intend to live on when we return from HK later this year. We’d love to live in Shrewsbury, have you been? However, as I’m sure you know, living and mooring on rivers seems to be another thing entirely. There is talk of a canal into Shrewsbury but I’ve heard it’s years away from completion. Anyway all the best and thanks for the great and well balanced vlogs.
Herron still following you? I never get birds following me, well not anymore!!! ;-( I thought detected an ‘Ey Up Me Duck’ accent. Which part of Notts you from Will?
@@NarrowboatWill Know what you mean, Will. Places change. Demographics can differ quite dramatically. People move on. I suppose one can make a similar comparison with supermarkets. For instance, I prefer the Aldi on Woodborough Road in Mapperley because there’s a better class of chav up there compared to the one on Glasshouse Street! Apologies if I have offended any chavs! 😉
Hey Will, great video. We last did Tarbebigge in 1995 and since living by the canal with our EOG on terra firma have never tired of the aspect.
Ahh that's good to know. I don't miss the busy beaches yet. The lock rise is just amazing. Tardebigge itself is very pretty. Thanks for watching.
Nice one again will,your looking well mate keeping fit with that amount of locks,take care stay safe will until the next one.John👌👍
Ahhh thanks John. It was a hard day's work but I loved the challenge. Take care mate.

I'm glad I'm behind otherwise it would be me cleaning my boat and going to the shop vlogs. Lol
Great vlog. Lovely journey.
Ahhh cheers. I slept that night..
Deffo a Radio Ham Will. Looking at his antennas he's into his HF. If only I had the room!!!
He looks like a pro.
Great stuff will , happy new year 🍀👍
Same to you. Thankyou.
I was there in the summer res was well down. Looks like you’re there in autumn and the recharge has begun
Yeah its getting wintery. Probably flooded now.
@@NarrowboatWill probably frozen today

Yes, that's what I ment to say lol.
11:40 Why is that house boarded up? Turned into flats?
Yeah they were working on it. They might of been restoring it but my guess is it's going to be flats.
@@NarrowboatWill Thank you. Keep on crusing :)

Bestwood, Broxtowe, Aspley, all the rough areas. Lol
@@NarrowboatWill I'm a Sherwood lad, but yeh, I know those areas very well, and the pubs... what'sleft of them!!!
@@richstudeny I go back and drive around my old haunts but nothings the same. Lots of development. Broxtowe is still a dump but a posher dump. Lol
