) .

thanks for the good wishes folks , much appreciated

regards

pete and Sheila

did a few " experiments " with my radio while parked outside the bungalow jim . using 1% output power on 2mtrs ..... opened up gb3yw ( 9+++ signal ) ... gb3tp ( again 9+++ ) .... also Runcorn repeater , and simplex qso on 2mtrs to gainsborough ..... the experiment continues

thanks for all the good wishes everyone

you are more than welcome to pop up jim , gonna need some advice / help on setting up aerials for vhf/uhf and hf .

you could always experiment with your radio too

briggie · 27-06-2013, 22:14

ive already made my mind up about vhf/uhf ...... a co linear .... but unsure of options for hf

jims-terrano · 27-06-2013, 22:19

Long wire's for HF and a nice ATU.

Could make a trap dipole to make it multiband, Gerald will help with making one of those I'm sure.

briggie · 27-06-2013, 22:25

Sheila says we need a cooker that works , and a fridge freezer first before I can have any more radio stuff ....... huh wimmin they don't understand

briggie · 29-06-2013, 10:56

we get the keys on Wednesday ..... couldn't quite understand why we couldn't have them yesterday , but we gotta go to the main office to collect them , and they operate an appointment system

.

so now we need a cooker that works , a fridge /freezer ( ours is intermittent

) , oh and a washing machine that doesn't leak

, as well as decorating ( they've given us £100 towards decorating costs ) and finally ..... carpets , then we can move in ..... oh sheilas just mentioned curtains / blinds too .......bluddie wimmin

Are there any second hand household places near you, or a clearance auction.

Won't your old blinds and curtains fit for now and I see carpet land are doing good discounts at the moment
