Smoking shelter now erected folks.

Thanks to M6MDR (Mick) for helping.

Further Help Needed

If you can help, the ground inside the shelter needs clearing of all the rubbish and the bricks taking up to the level of the club house wall ready for concreting.

Please let me know if you can help!.

Patch leads to downstairs rooms

Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:42

Patch leads for the VHF/UHF and HF Antennas to downstairs rooms have now been installed, it is now hoped that the equipment will be able to be used in the downstairs rooms in the very near future, we will keep you posted as to when this is finished and in use.

We require a working party to help make the Rotator/Antenna connections if you can help please contact us.

M3PYG (Tony) has now put the plugs on the coax cables, thanks Tony.

Distribution box now being made for the antenna leads

G4ZTD : M3PYG (Tony) has now put the plugs on the coax cables, thanks Tony Distribution box now being made for the antenna leads
G4ZTD : Smoking shelter now errected. Thanks mick (M6MDR) for you help today m8
G4ZTD : Many thanks for the Thank you's that you gave to me at the radio club on 20.02.12 folks, for doing this site ....Cheers
Steve2E0SVT : Evning Stuart.
Stuart : To G4ZTD: - No problemo old chap. Sorry not been on but not the energy to stay up late these days. G1ECK
Steve2E0SVT : Hi Ya Tony, Do you still need the pl259's I have a few here if you do? Probaqbly bring a couple with me anyway :)
Kelvin Doing : Hi Staurt and thanks for your comments
Stuart : thanks from me old chap.g1eck
Stuart : isnt it about time someone thanked g4ztd for all the time he has put into this site. anyway many
Stuart : amateur radio these days is like the yeti. you can find the footprints but wheres the body?
G4ZTD : Thanks Steve for doing that me and Tony popped round the other day too
Steve2E0SVT : He he, all the usual suspects lol :) was driving past club HQ today so drove up and checked it all seemed secure.
manoffunk : Had problems yesterday logging onto the site. Not sure if it's a problem with the site or whether its our works proxy. Have noticed that it caches things causing the site components to get confused - so you have to refresh.
manoffunk : Hi Steve, yes I was using 10.10 when I originally built my desktop, but thought I'd be clever and upgrade. Version 11 is ok, but these compiler issues mean I can't always cleanly install packages. Other than that it has been bulletproof. I find the solitaire quite difficult. :)
Steve2E0SVT : Hi Dave, Yes I am using 10.10 think that's the LTS (long term support) version. I usee 10.10 because I think it is (A) easier to use and (B) I think it is more stable than the icon only driven versions. 12.04 will be out in a couple of months, Maybe the stability issues will be solved by then. Oh don't download the backgammon, It cheats. :)
manoffunk : HI Steve, I've not had to do that yet - but have to say 11.10 Ubuntu isn't bullet proof. I've missing compiler issues on one machine, and haven't managed to fix it yet. I ahve got an all in 1 HD dock though so you can clone E - sata drives out of the machine if you need it.
Steve2E0SVT : flipping computers, had drive play games with me today, just reinstalled, Linux of course
G1GEV : Me too Steve ... Respect the voice, not keen on the type of music ... But she certainly sang better than I do LOL !
Steve2E0SVT : Will do Kevin. I not that into the kind of music Whitley was involved with, but I have a great deal of respect and admiration for her voice. I think she will be missed and leave a gap in music that I doubt will be filled.
G1GEV : Yeah Sad news indeed Kelvin ... and Steve if I think of anything I'll let you know ... if you have suggestions chirp up anytime m8
G4ZTD : Cant beleave this... Whitney Houston, Superstar of Records, Films, Dies
Steve2E0SVT : Well Done that man! Need any help m8? If I can do it in Linux have time at the moment.
G1GEV : Steve that and other stories on the APS website, will be putting more on the QRZ sites soon for GB0APS, GB2HPS, GB2MBS and GB2WWM, so check back every now and again, publicity leaflets on the way too !
Steve2E0SVT : Just looked on qrz.com and at gb0aps. The ghost of APS past :) good article john:)
G1GEV : No m8 your STILL snoring !
manoffunk : I've just woken up! :)
G1GEV : Is evertyone Asleep ... Very quiet on here ?
G4ZTD : check out my other site im doing for my son - in - law folks lol «link»
G4ZTD : nn m8
Steve2E0SVT : NN guys.
G4ZTD : Hi All
Steve2E0SVT : Ah there he is Hi Tony.
Steve2E0SVT : Hi Ya Alex/Kelvin. What no Tony? :)
Steve2E0SVT : Tempting, but think I will wait a while until any bugs are fixed on the first version. looks a good beasty though. may get the little one you linked the other day and a so239 adaptor so it can be plugged on to home tri or dual band antenna.
manoffunk : Here's a taster Steve - I did ask my contact for any indication of whether it was still being released, but they are being tight - lipped I'm afraid: «link»
manoffunk : Hi Steve, that's supposed to be released April this year (the Wouxun mobile) - but it failed FCC so am not sure if they have given up on it? Will wait and see - it promises to be good. :)
Steve2E0SVT : £31.50 ish for a dual band radio not bad. even better if you get the so239 adaptor for another couple of quid.. Under £35 complete. The Chinese are aboon to the now foundation licence holder. Myself I think I will wait for the mobile unit to come out, whenever that is.
manoffunk : New Baofeng dual band radio out «link»
manoffunk : Yeah, see you l8r geezaaaaahhhh!!! :)
Steve2E0SVT : Hi Ya Dave yeah got bored with the usual CF stuff and turned Off. Though to be fair it has been a bit more sensible of late on there. Yeah was nice not to hear "Contest" with every spin of the dial, but nothing of interest on when I tried, in fact most bands were completely dead. Must have been wrong time of day lol :) See you at club tonight?
manoffunk : Hi Steve - tried to raise you CF when I was on HF as I was soooo exceited! Yeah, I don't know why but the WARC bands seem to be more lively at the moment, all the usual contest shennanigans on 20m, and general ragchew on 40. 80m working but not good for me, as I think I need an earth. :(
G4ZTD : I ment Hiya M8 lol
G4ZTD : hIYA MATE
Steve2E0SVT : Hi Ya Kelvin, Tony and Paul, Well that's half the committee :)
Steve2E0SVT : Just tried HF, Complete waste of time, 2 Germans on 40m and zinch all else.
manoffunk : Hi Kevin - yeah dunno why, must be how I've got the antenna positioned - it's perfect to Slovenia. Was lots of data going on as well, but I didn't have the computer nearby, so will try again next time! :)
G4ZTD : All images in Articles are now working again folks
G1GEV : Well done Dave - more to come I hope !
manoffunk : 15m doing well today - three QSO's in Slovenia, with good stateside coverage as well! :)
