Hello Tony

Certainly was the site change bit, loacal farmer phoned me at 19:10 to
advise of the situation. Hence the site change.

Nothing was installed prior to 16:00 today.

Hmm! More than 24 hours????  I hope that's just the site change bit!

 

5. Stations 

a. All equipment including antennas and accommodation must be installed
on site not more than 24 hours before the contest.

Murphy has struck already !!!!

 

With more than 24 hours to go before the kick off of this years VHF NFD,
Murphy struck with a late site change and the 50MHz Yagi, coming back
down to earth too soon and too quickly.....ending up with two bent
directors. I managed to repair the bent directors, and get the rest of
the station set up this afternoon.

 

So far all is OK, and am now off for a curry & beer.

 

Keep well clear of IO82KW tomorrow after tonight's Madras, Cider and a
Guinness for good measure.

 

Catch in the contest !
