Name is Mark - G6WRB. We met last year outside Moonraker... you was (were?) on your Tiger, if I remember correctly. Home QTH is Luton, but my work office is in Langley... must pop round and take tea with Farouq :) ) Enjoy VHF/UHF but also do a bit of HF. I like the datamodes in particular (not FT8) and have recently had some success playing with VarAC. Recently joined the BBC club. 73
Hi Mark, Yes. I remember. You still got a Triumph?
Been a while since I have been to Moonraker. I am trying to save up for a new motorbike. The Tiger you saw has now gone as I plan to downsize. We will have to see what I can afford :-)
And welcome to G8BBC. Maybe I will see you on a field day.
Hope you get some interesting replies. I'll get the ball rolling if no-one else has.
I'm Farouq. QTH is IO91rm which is Langley 4 miles north west of Heathrow airport. A member of the Burnham Beeches club. Haven't done much radio towards the end of last year because I was busy with the Full Licence training and other stuff that got in the way. All done now so I'll be doing more 'radio' this year now that I've got my Full licence (M0PPQ).
Hi Farouq, thank you for being the first comment. :-) I was told by others they couldn’t comment as they don’t have permission but it might be a glitch with Substack. This post should be unlocked for everybody.
I’m glad yours got through. Many congratulations on the full license and looking forward to chatting on HF at some point. :-)
I'm Doug. aka djuggler. aka KO4NFA. I'm in Knoxville, Tennessee USA. We met on Seismic. My radio shenanigans of late have been obtaining a Yaesu FT5DR and an Icom IC-7300 but haven't made time to set them up so I've been rather silent. My DMR radio needs charging. My plans are still to do some SOTA and POTA. I want to play with DX on HF. I want to play with satellites and the ISS with 2m/70cm. I have the parts for a Morserino with hopes of learning CW. Mostly I've been tying up loose ends in my life during 2023 so that 2024 can be full of adventure. 73
My name is Steve (2E0VMG) - currently studying for my full licence and based in a small market town called Wirksworth. I had flu over Christmas so my radio plans were put on hold unfortunately.
My plan once I am feeling better is to do some Worked All Britain with a focus on trig points.
Hoping to get my full licence before Easter to do some maritime mobile on a sailing trip on the south coast.
Hi Steve, Good luck with the study. My house was full of the lurgy over Christmas as well. Hope you feel better soon. Where are you logging WAB? Is there anywhere other than their 1980's style website? ;-)
Nick M7CQX here. Been pretty active with radio recently, studying now for Intermediate, something I should have pushed on with years ago, still experimenting with antennas and hungry to learn more, that’s the thing with this hobby, just a limitless amount to learn if you want to…
Undertook another SOTA Boxing Day, the best day of the Christmas break! Love QRP, seems so much more fun than sitting at home in the shack, and 10w from a hillside is staggeringly effective, soon as the weather improves I’ll be heading to the next summit this time armed with my QRP guys DS1 20mtr vertical kit I’m soon to assemble….73s all.

Any update... it's been a gout eight months + ;-)
Life has been a bit overwhelming. I feel like the dust is settling and I'm focused on getting back on the air.
Get some dates in the diary and mark them as ‘adventure’! Make it happen Doug :-)

Cheers Nick! And nice one on the SOTA. Me and M1NER headed out to do a hill. I hope to do more this year. Good luck with the next exam!
