SYBO - any interest?

I’m wondering if this will attract as much interest as QRPTTF.
Unfortunately the date clashes with other plans I have, although there’s a possibility I may be able to activate a couple of GI summits that day.
It would be nice to have some SYBO weather :slight_smile:

Just read the rules, and find myself uncomfortable with an event that rewards operating weather deemed to be “dangerous” with a higher multiplier.

I very much doubt this will attract the sort of interest that the more well-considered QRPTTF did.

SYBO looks like an interesting event.

I’ll be on Isle of Wight G/SE-008 looking out for this one, and will be trying out my new homebrew 1/2 wave end fed and tuning unit. Hope it does the business.

That tin has some serious street cred Robert! Hope it all works out okay.

Pity the event isn’t a fortnight later - I could have bagged myself a decent multiplier from down in CT/AL. Last year it was 32C / 65% RH which was comfortable “shorts” weather. :wink:

Hi Gerald

Most of those types of tobacco tins don’t have hinged lids, otherwise it was destined for the bin. Your other comment was hilarious :slight_smile: hope your message wasn’t censored.

Bet it rains in GB during the SYBO event …

GL to you in CT/AL will listen out for you.

No Robert , I decided to take it off myself after considering that some might not have the same sense of humour that I have. As for the weather, had the rules required operating in the fashion that I referred to, then it would without doubt be my good fortune to be out in horizontal driving sleet. Somehow I doubt that I would adopt my usual “on the knees, crouching down” stance under such conditions!!! :slight_smile:

I’ve just constructed a feedline choke to take with me to CT/AL. I am hoping it will stop me getting RF burns off the key like I did last year. The proposed bands are 14, 18 and 21MHz. Hope to work you from the summits.
