I got the bike out this afternoon a brought it round the back into the yard. Pumped the tyres up and tightened the saddle which for some weird reason had worked a little loose? Main reason though was to fit the pedal spacers that I got a few weeks ago. Here are a couple of photo's. I have fitted the...

Rain tomorrow down South and a weather front from the SW with a band of rain for us on Wednesday.

A Well or a Charnel House?

Her husband Andrew Murray is an 'interesting' character. somewhere to the left of Joseph Stalin in his political views.

Her husband hasn't been her husband since 1997 they divorced. He has been married to someone else since 2003.

It gets better - This lady Susan Michie is well in the news now. She was an 'expert' this morning on Radio 5Live's phone in. She is the daughter of Uncle Bob's subject, and the mother of the lady I mentioned above. Her husband Andrew Murray is an 'interesting' character. somewhere to the left of Jo...

S20 is the 2M band calling channel 145.500 not hear him on that as it local VHF.

Hubnet is internet linked gateways we have a local one and It might be possible to link up. Depends on which modes and protocols he is using. Our local one is a simplex gateway MB7IVG on 144.9625 CTCSS access 103.5Hz

Just think - contacting America from your back yard, with about the same power as an energy saving light bulb. With 5W erp and only 20m of wire. No multi element beams here. My chimney stack to a neighbours gable. :smile: As an aside, I have the transceiver working via CAT control now so I can setu...

Yes thanks Mel all OK at our end. Glad he is enjoying himself, remind me of the callsign he holds?

As a general observation during lockdown. There is a surge in the number of amateur radio operators coming back to the hobby over the last few months. Other operators on the local nets have noticed the same. I have been back to the hobby now for 8 years or so and have recently been hearing callsigns...

We had tea from McCullough's last night, Barlick Raj last Saturday. With not spending as much on lockdown we have decided to do takeaway once a week. Helps to support the local restaurants that are still in operation. I believe Orange Door are doing takeaways as is Mario's. Plenty of variation to ch...

How fortunate we are, no personal loan, no bank overdraft, no car loan and no payday loan Unless you count the amount we have on credit card which will be paid off in full when due. :extrawink: :smile: Sad fact is, some folk will have all of them and the stress that probably goes with it, (for some ...

Wasn't there a vicar from Rochdale who used to do a column in Radcom on QRP, a long time ago? Indeed there was he died last year. He founded the GQRP Club and was a pioneer of low power communication. Reverend George Dobbs G3RJV RSGB Tribute I met him at various Radio Rallies. I bet Sue's husband B...

Here's a bit more fascination for you Stanley: I was having problems with the receive side of the data program so I uninstalled the whole job lot did a restart and then re-installed the pckage. I think this is where I slipped up before. I didn't do a restart after uninstalling and I thing the applic...

No problem Sue

I thought I would start this thread for bits of jobs that don't fit into other major project slots like Kitchen Refurb and other bigger projects. My offering today was completing the install of Sally's new tomato growing propagator that we have in the back yard. Our old one dropped in bits, (as they...

That looks interesting Kev, Doesn't apply to me at the moment as far as I am aware. I am interested to see how Thursday pans out at Ermysteds. NHSBT have asked that donors turn up on time and not to early to their appointments. This to shorten the time you are at the session. Appointments only until...

Labels from tea shipping chests?

Colin Smith who I worked with in Earby at Cook and Thornton's had Brucellosis. Started after he had been camping on a farm in Wales and drinking raw milk supplied from the dairy. He had it all his life and like you the symptoms tailed off in later life.

Back to signal propagation and a new digital mode I have been playing with for a couple of days. WSPR, (pronounced whisper) and as the name suggests its a low powered mode that has been developed specifically for checking propagation paths and signal strengths. The acronym stands for Weak Signal Pro...

Reminder text message today about my appointment. NHSBT need all the donors they can get as some of the 4% have dropped off due to self isolation etc.

Free to President Trump, as much as he can drink!

So I take it that they wont replace the meters unless you are still on standard ones. Just a software or firmware upgrade and a new readout unit? Not sure what happened here, my reply to Ian's post is below, Big Kev. It'll be down to your supplier if they replace the meters and IHD, the software opt...

I thought I mentioned this in here but can't find it, maybe a different thread. I applied for SMETS 2 meters from Octopus the other day, they are now rolling them out.

As I said in another thread, certifiable. It would be OK if he was the first recipient though.
