I intend to be at the rally.

I’ll be bringing the world famous Mountain Goat rig built on the summit of Whernside earlier this year. :laughing:

There’s also a possibility of the world debut of the Hilltop 20 SOTA rig.

Look forward to meeting friends old and new.

73, Colin

I’m intending to be there. I made the trip last year for the first time, and really enjoyed it.

I’ve even used some of the bits and pieces that I bought there :wink:

Greetings to those all gathering.
Great to contact a few on 80m this morning from G/DC-003 while out portable and pick up a nice double S2S with ester and Ian on G/SP-017 and couple contacts to those on SD-35 Dave and Paul.

Battery dropped below a certain voltage and rig cut out time to pack up and go home

Greetings from a mild and overcast Benidorm. I had a wander round with some of the guys in the band last night and the place reminded us very much of Blackpool. But not in a good way.

Thanks to Rob, Audrey, Simon, Mark, Andy, Colin and anyone else helping to promote SOTA today. Sorry to miss the event, but this was just too big a gig to turn down!

Have a great day everyone.
