Steve2E0SVT : The Chatbox does seem to have trouble with some links. Often it seems to grab the domain OK, but looses the subdirectory/s that the file is contained in. Also don't think it can really cope that well with the long U - tube URL's I was wondering is a members link forum could be set up as links seem to work Ok from the forums.
G4ZTD : Hi Kevin, i had probs with that link too, but just for you have put another link to the youtube vidie of it m8 «link»
G1GEV : sorry cant get link to work «link» - sale - nuclear - bomb - proof - space - station - in - carmel - valley.html

G1GEV : My New Shack ... I wish ... Anyone going to help me move it brick by brick over here and to rebuild it ... What chance of Planning Permission ???
Steve2E0SVT : Yep seems cleaner somehow, Similar theme to some of the Fusion themes. On the whole I think I still prefer fusion, mainly cos I can't get my head around Joomla :)
manoffunk : Hey am liking the new colours!
Steve2E0SVT : Yes I have had trouble with links in the chatbox myself in the past, thought it was just me lol
manoffunk : Sorry the link got chopped there - I've duplicated the post with extra links in the DIY forum section. :)
manoffunk : I was considering building a halo antenna for 2m but then found these on the W&S website - would look quite at home on your TV antenna mast: «link» - UHF_Portable_Antennas.html
G4ZTD : Hi Folks, Steve 2E0SVT has created a chat room have a look at this link «link» - general - chat/345 - unoficial - lrs - chat - room#345

G4ZTD : Working on Morse section guys so bear with me if things play up innit
manoffunk : - break it. Add some support using O rings if there is a gap.
manoffunk : Hi all! Yes, totally agree - the Baofeng is unbeatable for the money. FYI I've got the Wouxun KGUVD1P, which was cheap, but is now CHEAPER as there's an updated model. Original version and all spare parts - still available from 409 shop. I've put a higher gain antenna on it from Nagoya, for the amazing sum of £5!!!! Point of concern with these radios is weakness in the antenna mount. If anyone plans on using a different antenna, check to see if can be supported around the case, else it'll
M6MDR : Happy New Year all... Good video Dave, watched it this morning. I've got the same radio as Kelv's and for the money, you really can't complain! That video has now got me waiting for the 10:02 ISS pass LOL Gonna compare the Baofeng against my base rig if I get any audio TX from the ISS
manoffunk : Nearly got one myself the other day, but then realised I had to tax the car. :( Oh well, will soon be Christmas again! ;)
G4ZTD : Nice Video dave i have brought a Baofeng (but mine is a UV - 100) just b4 xmas m8, there not bad
Steve2E0SVT : Impressive video Dave, Was asking a bit much to pick up the French station on a baby radio like that, but really good signal strength from the ISS. Good stuff.
G4ZTD : Hi Kevin glad u are happy with it m8...Cheers
G1GEV : Thanks Kelvin ... Absolutely Brilliant !
G4ZTD : Both lots of Morse lessons i have done at the club have now been added to the Morse Training Supplement section
G4ZTD : Cheers Steve glad u approve m8
Steve2E0SVT : Well done for sorting it out Kelvin, Good addition to the site. Great stuff:)
G4ZTD : Thanks to Steve for bringing a error to my attention, Cheers M8
G4ZTD : Steve thanks for the info m8 can u try now and let me know pls m8
Steve2E0SVT : Hi Kelvin I can't get the instructional video's to work. I have pm'd you a copy of the error page.
G4ZTD : Steve which link cus Nick got them ok m8 cheers kelv
nick : Hi Gnomeo (aka kelvin). Thank you for the new link. I have seen some of those vid's before on you tube, but lost the bookmark when my computer crashed last year.
Steve2E0SVT : Hi Kelvin, get error 403 on that link Not authorised to view the page. Just thought I would let you know.
G4ZTD : I have added A New item called (Electronics Instructional videos) under Site Navigation for Registered members only to view.
manoffunk : :) I've just opened another forum post in the ham projects area with some of these in.
Steve2E0SVT : Oh I see there is already a web links section Doh!
Steve2E0SVT : Sounds a good device Dave. Is it Surface mount or through the hole. Doubt I would be be to do the former now. Kelvin how about a links section? Where members can either upload links, or send them to admin who can moderate and put them on the site.
manoffunk : Thanks Steve, yes it is the first time I've caught the band on the 'up stroke' as it were. For anyone interested in the MFJ antenna analyser, I've found a place that is selling a DIY version in kit form, which does all of that and more. Whole kit comes in at a whopping £94 but compare that to the £280+ for the MFJ and I think that doesn't look so bad. Good little kit, and obviously something very useful! Trouble is I've got enough kits/projects/ideas/things to learn now to keep me going un
G4ZTD : test
Steve2E0SVT : Hello Dave Yeah this is a bad time of year for colds and flu etc. I have had a few contacts on 20m but the bands seem to go up and down like a yo yo sometimes. Should have the car next week so will be at the club for longer. Look after yourself m8.
manoffunk : Hi all! Yeah Steve, I am full of the dreaded lurgy so stayed in. I did however get onto 20m and got a 5/7 with Slovenia on approx 20w. I haven't managed to get anywhere on 20m before so that was a nice surprise! :)
Steve2E0SVT : Ohhh that weather is not nice, got to go out, but that will be much later today at this rate.
G4ZTD : OK mate glad u got home ok too
Steve2E0SVT : Hi Ya Kelvin I was more worried about the bike giving trouble. It stalled just before I got to the path to the house and restarted OK, but was warmed up Ok at that point and stable. Needs around 15 to 20 mins in cold weather to get its act together. Julia just got home 23:00 Se you next week with the alarm :)
G4ZTD : Have u got warm now steve lol
Steve2E0SVT : Hello Dave, been to club but was on Bike so didn't stay long, Suzuki really doesn't like the cold weather.
G1GEV : Happy New Year to You Conner !
M6CMW : happy new year
