Mutterings from the management
What a brilliant August!
The rally day was bright and glorious, if a little cold, and we had the usual ‘There’s nobody here!” feeling, but by opening time everyone had turned up, the inside of the hall was full, and the outside had Jack (2E0HSP) deciding if we needed to put an extension on!
It was lovely to see familiar faces, and the rain did as it was told and held off until we finished.
Two weeks later, it was Lighthouses On The Air, and the radio club set up on Friday, and packed up on Sunday. Some years are awful, and some years are great, and this was one of the best with 147 contacts over the weekend. There was much excitment when not one, but 2 VK stations were worked, and another on the West Coast of America. Most of the contacts were in Europe, but 37 of those were lighthouses, which was the most we have ever found. (Yes Ian G4JQT, there were 6 in Morse. Well done.)
As always, thanks to all that helped with the set up and take down of both events, and to all who visited, (even if they were only showing off their new car! There was a lot of bacon baps, sausage baps and tea consumed, as well as some excellent fish and chips on Friday night at the Lighthouse.
Keep the first and third weekends in August free for next year, and come and join us.
We are here on a Thursday night, the kettle is always on and new members are always welcome.
