VHF NFD this weekend. It means the good weather will end.

Dust down your Snideband gear and have look for GM3HAM/P near Wigtown,
SW Scotland. 70cm, 2m, 4m and 6m.

Yes, it is here again, but unworkable from this QTH

The local CB club has 3 "ops" on the hills to the north of me all are
overdriving poxy Micky Mouse linears.

They are widebanded over 600kc combined, 2 on 2m and another flitting
about on all 4 lower bands.

Wont listen when anyone tries to help or asks them to turn the drive
down, for example one is using a Trio 9130 on full power (25w) into a
M/M 100ls "linear" designed for a maximum 10w drive for full o/p

You couldnt make it up, shit for brains

I hope it pisses down on them all weekend :)

Nice to make it with GM3HAM/P on two metres. Was it you Brian?

Listened for a long while for you on 70cms but nothing. No other GMs
heard either.

Hope you had a good Field Day.

No I was doing 4m and 6m, glad you made it.

Conditions were not good, and there were struggling to keep 70cms
running, due to lack of operators.

>Hope you had a good Field Day.

Yeh it was good fun. Weather was reasonably kind. We made a tactical
mistake by going to the pub on Saturday and missing the SpE opening to
Portugal on 2m and the Caribbean on 6m. Such is life.

Adam and Eve had no knowledge of right and wrong before they ate the fruit,
so they did not know it was wrong. God placed the tree in the garden so that
he would have an excuse to downgrade his creations. Doesn't that make God
look pathetic? Gods plans were partly thwarted by a wonderful angel known as
Satan, who sacrificed himself for us. God told Adam he would die the day he
ate from the tree. Satan said he would not. The Bible says that Adam lived
on for many years. So God lied and Satan told the truth. Satan told Adam
that when he ate from the tree his eyes would be opened and he would know
right from wrong, aka have free will. The Bible says that is what happened.
Again Satan told the truth. God did not want humans to have free will.
