[Sniper]

Just interested in how many ham radio enthusiasts we have on the site as there appears to be quite a few....so come on guys let's see who we are and if we can make contact outside the keyboard. How about a list I'll start it off and you all cut paste and add your own

I have had two Ham callsigns. My personal one was VP8CMS and my radio shack had one too VP8ROT (I was the RO) - Rothera base, Antarctica. funnily enough My callsign seemed very popular with DXer's. As part of the Falkland Island dependencies all you had to do was cough up a tenner and you were given an 'A' class license.

That would be a great idea Doc just need a time and a frequency, possibly better on 40m but I'm open to whatever folks want. Well what about it guys who's all up for a sked??

 

[santaman2000]

We are getting enough here for a regular net so guys how about as Doc suggested organising a sked
What about Sunday nights at 21.00 +- QRM on 7.125 everyone should be back in if out over the weekend and it should be reasonably open and quiet. Or if anyone has another suggestion? I'll be there for sure.

 

[Doc]

Are you on the bands just now John?

 

[Doc]

Success!

Just had a nice contact with Sniper on 40m.

Will try again 2100 (local, not UTC) next Sunday.

 

[Sniper]

Fantastic thanks Doc really great to have a chat on the air, well it proves it'll work and worked well there. So guys Doc and I have agreed to try this every Sunday at 9 so hopefully some more of you will give it a go and see what we can manage. Once again thanks Doc for coming back to the call.

I listen in on a cheap Tesco shortwave. Very rarely find a Ham to listen in on, but I quite like Radio Bucharest

 

[johnboy]

Happy to chat but G - ZL on 40m ssb with 100w and a dipole might be a bit of a challenge.
