SOTA’s very own Tom M1EYP features in the first episode of TX Factor, the UK’s first TV programme dedicated entirely to amateur radio. The cameras were there when Tom activated Stiperstones G/WB-003 last November.
My thanks to Tom and the MT for allowing the TX Factor Team to focus on such a great part of the amateur radio hobby - SOTA!
You can watch Tom’s item now by visiting the TX Factor website at http://www.txfactor.co.uk

The well-used outdoor gear and the designer stubble is all part of the hardy mountaineer image! As a friend of mine used to say, “If yer up 'ere, yer gotta look HARD!”
A terrific first program, I look forward to more good viewing from the TX Factor team.

On yer bike Richard. I could probably post some links to draw everyone’s attention to that old yellow coat of yours…
Brian, that’s no designer stubble. That’s my beard within a week of the mst recent beard trim. It’s usually an inch or three thicker than that.

In reply to M1EYP:
Basically Tom, you were just in between beards. I’ll watch the programme later, sounds interesting.

I understand that GMTV are searching for new talent to present their failing breakfast show.
In reply to 2E0FGQ:
Fantastic programme, I really enjoyed it ! I’m looking forward to the next episode.

In reply to G3CWI:
I think they’re looking for someone who has good looking legs when sat on a sofa and viewed from a low level camera. I haven’t seen Tom’s legs in the raw, but judging by the scrubland on his chin after only a few days growth, his legs will need more than waxing and toning to get the hairs off. Probably an angle grinder with a diamond cutter. None of your domestic electric grinders mind you but a professional one with a big two-stroke motor!

Agreed! the key to good watchable-engaging video is to educate, inspire and entertain when possible! TXfactor has this formula down. I hope they keep it up! …Steve
