Big thanks to the CT group for this event , had a truly great time ( and the most suckulant chicken Ive ever tasted ) especially Al for organising it ( &the bbq ) and Andy for the Beast of Buxton and letting us play with some great radio gear. Mark who came with Adi (and is always a geat one for me to get in the log from just outside York) for the freebie switchs for my Crt Homebase, etc ect. The list could go on and on , good location ,good weather, great company, great bbq , meeting the guys Ive talked to from around the Country on the radio , those from this forum and social media and those Ive never heard of before, a great pleasure. (did I say I had a great time ) Shame about the propagation and the 7hour round trip but well worth it !!! 73 Kevin |
