Ofcom EMF Statement - Thanks to Leslie G0CIB for giving us an insight into Ofcom's latest EMF statement, and how it affects amateurs who use over 10 watts!

If I've not done it by before July, I must sling up a temporary aerial so Sark appears as @GU0BEZ for IOTA 2020.

Please let it be CQ!

Station relocating to Sark...

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

Oops, the wind has rather unsurprisingly brought down one leg of the 80m dipole.

It wasn't exactly securely fixed 😂 #experimental #hamradio

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

You know how it is, you put out endless calls and nobody replies. Or you try to contact a station but they don't hear you

A classic problem when building a station.

But there's a solution...

WebSDR! This is one that's saved my sanity 😀

Temporary 80m dipole being prepared last night. As I'm short on connectors and budget it's open feeder.

Perfect for getting going.

Finally back on the air...

And also the first time I could poke around on 60m.

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

Thanks to @clareangela for pointing this out to me. Anyone else aware of this piece of sledgehammer WT act legislation? http://t.co/wWhvYR5u

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

I do love listening to the gentle, gliding, roll of hand sent morse :-)

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

Thank goodness for that, actually hearing somebody on air! I had an awful feeling I had aerial issues...

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

Shack rearranging time! Not a full one, but getting ready to re-commission the big wireless (the FT-102) :-) #hamr

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

Did somebody switch 80m off, incredibly quiet! #hamr

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

Right. Big plan for the weekend. Get the #1 FT-102 on the test rig and find out what happened to the receive path. #hamr

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

Hmmm, 80m has suddenly gone very quiet at the CW end of the band. Must be lunchtime!

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

Ah, time for the Old Timers net G2OT on 3766.5KHz #hamr

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

@G0PKT Heh. That's not something you get every day. Better than the usual straight exchange!

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

So trying to listen to 80m. And there's a contest on. Can't people listen before sending? 500Hz is not a good channel gap! #hamr

[Victoria de GU0BEZ @G0BEZ]

It occurred to me I need a separate account for #hamr tweets, so here it is. Mostly this will be weekend tweets as that's when I play radio!
