Ill be coming up the hill if it is not pouring with rain, have no intentions of sitting in a car with awful weather, would rather sit indoors at home and listen from here seeing as I am three miles away. Does not seem much point in bringing much radio gear as it is all catered for. I'll have the Icom in the car so have access to 10m, 11m, 2/70cm + PMR. What is the freq going to be for those travelling to so i know what to tune to because if the weather is OK then I'll likely be the first on site. |

Typically this area and all of London is forecast for Heavy rain all day long, it's going to be horrid guys sadly with no look of change due to the size of the rain mass coming over, so really not sure what's going to happen turn out wise! |

We got rained off today, rubbish conditions both on air on weather wise. We did however all turn up and battled it for two hours but once the hands went blue it was time to leave. ![]() The Towers on Botley Hill which are used by Biggin hill Airport amongst many other things, even so could any of us get any phone reception !!!!!! ![]() ![]() Good to see you all, shame it was as nasty as I feared, hey summer is coming ![]() I know Mark 037 has some pictures and video coming at some point. |

I have just come back from up near to the white horse at Uffington. Too much QRM from Olga and the weather was pretty crap, but I did manage a few good contacts. I would have stayed out longer but there was too many people about, and some of them were wondering what I was up to. Edited by Mudslinger, Monday, 9. April 2012, 13:19.
