Callum’s Regular Friday Sked – Ham Radio on Shortwave

Callum's Regular Friday Sked - Ham Radio on Shortwave

I’m in Bude, Cornwall and I have JUST managed to lever in a DXC Expedition antenna in the VERY SMALL front garden(!), overlooking the harbour master’s office (I’ll make a video about this). Tide is out but the salty ground should make for a reasonable RF experience. Probably 40m and 20m bands BUT we also have 17m, 15m and 10m if conditions improve. This is my last transmission from Bude this year since we go home later today. PS Using call M0XXT/P to keep the QSLing easier (thanks to Tim M0URX for organising all QSLs). 73, Callum M0MCX.
