433 Alive Activity - Sat 21st November 12:00 to 15:00 UTC

As per the 433 Alive Facebook Group:
The 11th Editiion of the 433 Alive activity event will run from 12:00 to 15:00 UTC Saturday 21st November 2026 . Times are not critical,its all about creating activity and no-one needs to feel like they need to spend the full 3 hours on the band. The event does seem to be growing and is a lot of fun and not as full on with lots of chance to chat.

Its not a contest, so can just pop in and out at your pleasure and no special information needed. Having said that, knowing your locator square does allow me to draw pretty maps after the event :slight_smile:

I have also found that omnidirectional antennas give the best results and are put up and forget. Beams are good for distance but can be a faff with zeroing in. One station does run both an omni + a big beam and gets good results but car based with rotators and the like so not suitable for SOTA ops.

I have alerted for G/SP-017 Billinge Hill (surprise surprise) and hopefully it will be dry. If the WX forces a change and a car based operation I will be signing /M rather than /P

Also hoping to fit some 2m SSB and 23cm activity in as well.

Hope to work a few of you on the day.

Ian
