After a year since my last post I wonder what I've been up to. Very little radio I'm afraid but summer is on its way and I did treat myself to a Sota beams 10 m pole that fits in a suitcase and a much smaller 12 Volt 1.3 AH battery for portable operations.
I took them all over to Majorca in the half term and managed to use the HB-1A with a long wire strung out of the window on a couple of occasions but the pole was not used - plenty of sea front places to use it but it was a family break and they always come first.
So I'm planning to make some small journeys to the sea front in the next few weeks and test the pole but I did realise i need to swot up on my CW reading again so its back to the 'CW Trainer' on the phone and some serious practice!!
