So for my last Brass Monkey activation I went to Langston Harbour where I set up at the very end of Farlington Marshes. My Friend Neil M0CJM drove down from Basingstoke to sit in on the activation. Neil and I both passed out Radio Amateurs Exam (RAE) as it was known back then in 1996 I think :-). The weather was overcast and there was quite breeze coming from the SW. I carried in all of the radio kit in a new 5.11 Molle back pack which was being used for the first time so this was a bit of a test, I will detail this on the Ham Radio page soon. I took my usual portable Yaesu FT891 along with my trusty slidewinder antenna. I started off on 20m moving on to 40m with over 70 QSO’s in the log in just over an hour.
A well spent afternoon off of work.
