4-5 May 2024 – RSGB UHF & Microwave Contest – only Brian Howie GM4DIJ/P:
“Bendy, Bendy”.
“Pah . Damp, drizzly & foggy at Stoneykirk IO74MU nr Stranraer. Not enough to put me off!”
3 contacts on 23cm, 1 on 9cm, none on 13cm or 3cm. Condx were so bad on 23cm I thought my antenna was borked. I took it up and down a few times and changed to a shorter one. The long one is too bendy. Need some support lines or bracing.
The 9cm contact at 393 km using 2W to a 35cm BSkyB dish is the furthest I’ve ever worked on that band.
