G5WS - cancelled, broken down on A6!

Hi all,

If anyone wants to work the G5WS transatlantic call-sign, I will be using it on both summits tomorrow morning - subject to wx conditions:

  1. Stony Cove Pike G/LD-018 @ approx 09:00 UTC
  2. High Street G/LD-011 @ approx 11:00 UTC

I will be operating G5WS on 80m and 20m SSB only - please look out for the spots :slight_smile:

73,

Ben (GW4BML)

Saturday the 10th it is :slight_smile: title edited - thanks Andy!

It’s been -5C early mornings recently at base level and not got above +2C all day in my village, so dress warm for summits of SCP and HS tomorrow. Will try to work you on 80m groundwave if I’m around.

Hope your car gets well soon. Is it complaining about carrying your new roof tent? :wink:

We’ve had around an inch of snow at ground level in Windermere this morning, so you may have struggled to reach the top of Kirkstone Pass - typically the pass will receive at least triple the snow compared to the valleys.

I’ve been up there once behind a snow plough/gritter and the snow was around 750mm in places!

What a nightmare :see_no_evil: at least I managed to drive it back at 40mpg in limp mode all the way! I nearly ended up having to pop the tent up to sleep in :rofl:

Thanks David - it’s typical it happened this morning. Never mind, I’m hoping to come up on my next free day, hopefully will be before the new year - I need some bonus points :grinning:

Take care and have a nice weekend!

73, Ben

Thanks John - was good to make a brief qso from my local hill, Stingwern MW-030 :grinning:

Thanks for the information Mark - this makes me feel slightly better. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be.

Hope to catch up soon and have a nice Christmas and new year if I don’t speak to you before!

73, Ben
