I drilled out the scaffold guys for the eye bolts, fitted the rotator, fitted the falling derrick system and the first scaffold tube to deliver the first piece of the tower.

This is the UK’s National Newark HamFest, the UK’s biggest. Lots of old friends, some mad jokes and a bit of fun. Thanks to Mike and Jonathan.

Matt came up with this excellent contraption that you can either buy – or have printed off yourself. I LOVE them.

Friday Night in the UK with the "CREW". Mike, Jonathan, etc. aactually – no idea who’s tuning up!

PS – Using Streamyard.. which is FREE – but if you want the HD version with ability to record etc then you can upgrade to a paid version: https://streamyard.com/pal/d/6370377447243776 – end of public announcement!

This is a UK initiative. At 13:00 Sunday, I will invite callers to join a Net. I have been allocated 145.375.

Once we get to 10-15 callers on the Net, I will invite each station to give Signal Reports for up to 3 stations, send any message and return the frequency to me and I will pass it to the next caller.

Let us know if you leave the Net. Time to break in will be given between callers.

Periodically, I will invite new joiners to the NET.

The Net ends at 16:00 (or before!)

I run a LOT of toys on my shack PC and because I live-stream the screen, lots of folks want a full explanation of my current setup. This is it. Enjoy and be inspired!

Starting with a clear night Friday 27th Sept. Expect a fabulous sunny morning and sunrise in Warwickshire on Saturday.
