I could, possibly, make this one, family Xmas activities permitting, Ive already done most of the summits close to Church Stretton this year with the exception of Callow Hill, so that would be my choice in order to make it in time for tea & cake at Mr Bun’s.
Have alerted for Great Rhos - Rhos Fawr. Weather permitting, plan to park myself on the summit for a while working as many people as possible on 2M. Then whizz down on the bike and head over to Mr Bun.
Sadly I now can’t make the 29th, apologies. I have withdrawn my activation for G/WB-006 so if anyone else fancies the steep 1 pointer with excellent VHF take off, it’s yours. Hope you all have a good time and the buns are excellent!
I have family plans around Gaulfest, so I don’t think I’ll be able to meet up at Mr Bunn the baker’s in the afternoon. I will try and get out on a summit throughout the day for a S2S if I get the chance
im going to be on a couple of G/SP summits on the day for some summit to summit….. G/SP-005 pendle hill and then G/SP-007 Fair snape fell. Obviously all weather dependant but it’ll be great to work some S2S
I’ve alerted for Brown Clee Hill G/WB-002. I’ll bring 4m and 23cm (both FM), as well as HF, as long as you remember to charge the batteries on your 4m radio @MW0PJE
Thanks Adrian, I did find the location, but the timing was also an important consideration since I’ll be driving back to ‘FlatLand’ (Cambridge) afterwards.
It involves finding and organising some kit that hasn’t been out for a while, but I’m hoping to have 2M SSB and CW as a warm-up for the 2026 challenge.
Would be great to work others, whether it’s S2S or chasers at home!
I will be out and about in the Arenigs tomorrow - GW/NW-011 and then GW/NW-018. Perhaps GW/NW-048 if I make (very) good time. Elecraft KX2 on 40m and 20m and VX6 for 2m. Hoping to catch some S2S’s
Me and my dad Tom @M1EYP are setting off just now for Gaulfest.
Just a reminder that Gaulfest is happening today with SOTA activations taking place in Shropshire and Mid Wales and there will be a meet up at 3pm today at Mr Bun The Baker in Church Stretton. See you all later.
