Folks,
Phil G3TCU is taking part in the low band microwave contest today. It's on now until 3pm local time.
Callsign: M0HNA/P
1296.245MHz nominally - he may sometimes be off searching and pouncing or on 13cm/9cm.
He's a huge signal into Reading and even with my rudimentary setup using a fixed patch antenna pointing at GB3FM and a microwave modules transverter, he was 5/9+30 and generally copyable all the time whilst rotating his beam from west to east for me.
You may remember Phil's van and the talk he kindly did for us on it. That's what he's using today.
Also worked Dave G4RGK up in Stokenchurch (ish) which was nice. Similarly big signal.
Other stations are available :-) But I couldn't hear them, unsurprisingly.
Have a go!
