The PMR446 DX weekend was a bit quiet, probably due to the scorching weather we have been having here, most people are out enjoying the sun instead of playing with radios. Me, I hate it, give me winter any day! Shame it was so quiet as there was a lot of tropospheric lift aiding long distance contacts, Delboy made a staggering contact a few days later from Northumberland to Amsterdam, a distance of approximately 333 miles!! Read about it here.>In other news I broke my record for longest running server with my webserver (an old HP PA RISC jobbie running Debian Linux) that runs a few services for family & friends going over the 365 day mark (currently at 376 days). Once upon a time I’d have been amazed at something like this but these days it’s usually only ever a hardware failure or relocation that brings one of my servers down. I had word last week that for the month of September my Land Rover is to be featured on the front page of series123.com! Check it out starting 1st September.
