Thanks Ben for the RSGB presentation you did last night, just happened to be scrolling through twitter and spotted that RSGB had a YT channel and that you were doing a presentation!
I made a brew and got comfy. Informative - thanks
Three hobbies/interests I share as well, Landies, Radio and Rallying!
For those that missed the RSGB live event RSGB Tonight@8 - Radio and Rucksack by Ben Lloyd, GW4BML - YouTube
Cheers

Thanks for posting the link on here John, I missed Ben last night so was able to enjoy his talk this morning. 73 Don G0RQL.
No probs.
Thanks for heads up John, and thanks Ben for an excellent presentation.
Made my admin work this morning much more interesting! 
73, Matthew M0JSB
Likewise thanks for the heads up John, (you beat me to it!).
Thanks also to Ben for a very enjoyable & informative presentation & Q & A afterwards.
Well worth a watch for SOTA fans & portable working generally. 73 de John.
That was a good one Ben. Very well done!
Another very positive message for working portable, especially SOTA.
Who would have thought there was a third one among us John? 
Really enjoyed the talk last night. A great advert for SOTA and /P working. Great to see Thomas, K4SWL, contributing to the Q&A section, too. Well done Ben.
Thanks Ben,
Another tick in the box, well done!
New target MG-CW 2023?
Thank you

Now I know why Nicky Grist comes to my mind instantly every time I hear Ben talking. 
Ahoi
Pom
Yup. Just need to get Ben his trainee recovery licence 
Thank you very much @M0VAZ John - I have just seen this post now it’s really hard to write a presentation that will keep watchers amused for an hour, so I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, I have a couple of rally cars and a handful of Landrover’s which all run and drive!!! But some are not on the road yet I am working on a SOTA beast, image below:
This should be on the road in the next couple of months. And here’s one of my stage cars (Nissan Sunny GTi) which is currently set up for forestry:
That green mountain in the background is ‘Plynlimon’ GW/MW-001, the rally was in Ceredigion called ‘Rali Bae’. I do like my Peugeot 205’s as well, my tarmac / road rally car is the 205 Mi16, I cant find any pictures of it on my laptop though.
It looks like a lot of us amateurs share some of the same hobbies which is great - I’m pretty sure we’d have some stories to talk about if we all met up!
73, GW4BML. Ben
Thank you very much Matthew - I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks John
Thanks Fraser - fingers crossed it’ll attract a few more amateurs into the SOTA scheme.
Thanks Mike - it was weird talking to my PC screen though for over an hour
Thanks David - I’m not sure I’ll hit my MG on CW this year, but I certainly want to do more CW activations through-out 2023 and the future!
The Nicky Grist stages take place around the area I live in, so you get to sneak into the forests and watch it! I’ve never done it myself, but may have a go one day I think it’s taking place early July this year. Hope your keeping well Pom 
73, GW4BML. Ben
Thanks Don
Yup, I enjoyed the presentation - thanks
Good pics there Ben. I was out on the Rali Bae last year doing recovery.
I am sure we would have some stories if we met up - maybe one day.
Cheers
Liam and I once combined attending a rally event with an activation!

(Scroll down to November 13 activation)
I have a feeling I was there in 2013 on or near the start.

Ben - it only becomes weird if your PC starts answering back …
Hahahaaa, love it! 
And yes, great job Ben, both on organising to be a “Tonight at 8” presenter on portable radio, and for the fine job you did of it. Mind you, you’re a seasoned TV celebrity these days - the “go-to guy” for anything about amateur radio on the small screen!
Thanks Tom - it was great given the opportunity to promote portable operating including SOTA.
