10th July SSB UK QSO Party!

[Bug_out_Bag]

Hi Steve,

Ch 38 is generally accepted to become the calling channel as far as I'm aware and I'm guessing that there will be less than a handful of active participants from this site so I'm thinking that using ch38 USB +/- will be the best way to go to get some come contacts whether SUk related or not since no doubt we probably live on different sides of the country and so far we are the only two!

I'll be using a homebrew vertical 5/8 wave held up on a fibre glass pole down at the beach which gives me my best option.

That Bremi sounds like fun! So what's the antenna ... a six element Yagi? Stealth! Ha! Ha!

Timewise, 10th July is a Thursday and so either early before work or late or both, so maybe 0700 -0830 then 1830 - 2000, how's that sound? It will be good fun, shame they didn't legalise it years ago but better late than never and it's really good news for preppers isn't it?

Cheers n beers
