Month: October 2011

My Alimast is up but there’s no aerial on top (lots of images in this post)

Last Updated on October 16, 2011 by g6nhu There was no work done on my Alimast from Aerial-Parts of Colchester last weekend because I was at the RSGB Convention so the plan was to get everything finished off this weekend.  The design for the bracket had been worked out and I’d done all the indoor […]

Days 283, 284, 285 and 286 – PSK31 sign-offs

Last Updated on October 13, 2011 by g6nhu Day #283 was the first day back home after I’d been away all weekend for the RSGB Convention and I realised very quickly that morning that perhaps I should have taken the day off to recover.  Although I’d been sensible and not had really late nights while […]

Days 276 to 282 – The RSGB Convention and getting a US amateur radio licence

Last Updated on October 9, 2011 by g6nhu Here’s what should be one of the last ‘regular’ updates that consists of just a list as it brings me up to date.  I’m not saying there won’t be lists in the future when I work a lot of stations such as during a contest but they’ve […]

Days 266 to 275, Alimast sections are all assembled

Last Updated on October 14, 2011 by g6nhu Lots of QSOs over these ten days, with quite a few data contacts during contests.  Here’s a list. At the weekend I finished off the assembly of my Alimast sections.  I’d done a lot on Saturday as per my previous update but having ripped so much skin […]

Review – September

Last Updated on October 2, 2011 by g6nhu Another good month for QSOs and a very good count for DXCCs worked. My mast is coming along well and I’m hoping it’ll be done in time for CQWW at the end of October. I’m still a long way behind on QSL cards but I’ll catch up […]

Days 256 – 265 and more Alimast building

Last Updated on October 1, 2011 by g6nhu Another bumper update so again it’s a list – It makes sense (to me anyway) to provide a list like this as it saves extra typing! I’m especially pleased by the QSO with TR8CA using PSK125 – I’d seem them work a few stations and suddenly there […]
