Written by Richard Dell   

I can only write for myself, as I had to leave early (at 1.15pm) to help my wife with a stall at a Christmas Fair in the Afternoon.

I arrived at about 10.20am to find Bill (G3NQX) hard at work. Mark was poorly and unable to attend. We picked up some UK contacts on 80m, including Chorley ARS using GB0LD. Chorley told us they had made some transatlantic contacts on 20m, but they were using a beam! We tried 20m for about 10 minutes without success (good reception, but cannot really compete with a beam) before returning to 80. Furthest contacts were from Fife (Scotland) and the Isle of Wight. John (2E0JFK) and Alex (G4WYH) joined us later.

Look forward to seeing Mark back with us as soon as possible.
