The new 8-way pulley system arrived so it’s about time we tried to get the tower back in operation. I also took the slant out the yagi. Let me know your thoughts!

I’ll try and fix the audio later…
I tried to melt my antennas with 1.8kW on 28MHz. No flames – but the thermal camera was extremely interesting!

Peak wind at Holly Farm was 62MPH. That’s a lot for UK but we fixed it all up. Callum.

Full test over 5-miles with the Retevis MB62 *and* supplied MagMount vehicle antenna with their MB62 kit. This is great fun! These are the links Retevis sent to me:

Up to 90 mph winds have been measured recently in UK. Holly Farm (antennas and remote site) currently hitting 60mph gusts right now. DX Commander Antennas appear to be holding up!
We are expecting 60mph winds in the middle of England so let’s have a Check-In before all our antennas are destroyed! LOL
I can’t believe this actually works under water! The Spec says IP67 so actually it’s good for 1m depth for 30-mins! But anyway, I found it funny..!

Retivis sent me this link for the GPS version of the radio:
Retevis Ailunce HD2 DMR Radio; #Ailunce HD2 #RETEVIS, #AmateurRadio #WE ARE TOGETHER
We like this dual set. You don’t need a licence, anyone can use them and it has just about all the basic functionality you need. No knobs, just a few buttons and it’s not expensive. Charges via USB C.
