After all this radio, walked to the top of Dunkery beacon to see the view up the bristol channel was like. Impressive!

[Dave Robinson @gw0fre]

Also worked g8cub/p on cleeve common cheltenham at 136km on 24 and 47GHz (nil on 76GHz too much water on path) and g4uvz on 24GHz but best dx was hearing gb3zme/b on 24GHz at 181km!

Out portable on dunkery beacon slopes in somerset working @G8GTZ @davegkq on 24GHz DATV and g4ldr on 47GHz cw on bulbarrow hill at 96km. Not an unobstructed path i think!

[Dave Robinson @gw0fre]

@G8GTZ Or even io81wu at birdlip

Came to cleeve common to compare my existing 24g xverter with the newly boxed wavelab with db6nt preamp. Very similar results with gb3zme/b , the surprise was hearing gb3bed/b on both with the 18" dish!

37 years ago when the first picture was taken I put Lands End on my bucket list. Today the visit finally happened ( in rain and driving winds!)

12% lunar eclipse in Cornwall IO70GF saturday night

[Dave Robinson @gw0fre]

Finally gave in and bought one!

Before the deluge arrived. The purple recycling bag was definitely not enough to waterproof it all but I did discover the ic705 is quite waterproof 😁

@BATCOnline just to prove 24GHz works on a rainy day I worked Gareth @g4xat over 58km on nbfm again and had a 2way 5GHz FMTV qso. No that isn't the sun it's the camera flash!

[Dave Robinson @gw0fre]

@m0lmk it provides 5 volts on transmit on the centre conductor of the antenna socket which switches external transverters without having to use an extra PTT lead

[Dave Robinson @gw0fre]

Finally got the courage to dismantle my ic-705 and do the Dubus 5V on transmit modification

[Dave Robinson @gw0fre]

@DXING @Gm0Onn I sprayed the outside of my boxes with grey hammerite Paint to stop them corroding

[Dave Robinson @gw0fre]

@verpoler I did mine as per the DUBUS modification 6 months ago, saved me so much trouble since!
