RE: CB testing this coming week - Steve - 6 August 2016
Same time tomorrow ?
RE: CB testing this coming week - Lightspeed - 6 August 2016
Yes Steve, That's the plan.
I'll post on here to advise of any changes.
RE: CB testing this coming week - Lightspeed - 7 August 2016
I have some unexpected errands to run this morning that might compromise the time of the start of my transmissions this afternoon.
I'll still aim to meet the plan, but anyone who's set up please go ahead without me.
I'll post a note here 1 hour before starting transmissions.
RE: CB testing this coming week - Lightspeed - 7 August 2016
I'm on air right now...
RE: CB testing this coming week - Steve - 7 August 2016
Sorry, delayed by some lost RG58. I'll be ready next time though.
Embarassed.

Ha ha... it happens.
FYI my Morse transmissions were picked up in Northern and central UK, and I have one confirmed call logged. All on SSB of course.
Band was quite noisy today so any contact can be considered a success.
Let us know when your coax is found and the station operational and we'll try again.

Found some pf195, radio is up now, but I'm not near it.
RE: CB testing this coming week - Steve - 7 August 2016
Can be on-air any time now if anyone left to test with.
RE: CB testing this coming week - Lightspeed - 7 August 2016
OK I'll go on air till 15.45
Same drill. EU CEPT Ch 04 (27.005Mhz) LSB
I'll transmit Modulated morse code..
Whistle back if you hear me
RE: CB testing this coming week - Steve - 7 August 2016
I whistled ( 4 blasts 4 times ), and something replied, the signal strength was high but I couldn't clarify it at all.
I'll sort out a better antenna during the week. I had intended to make a phased dipole because I could only find rg59, but ran out of time and lashed up a temporary dipole instead.
