5B/G3VYI plan for 2023

After last year’s travels from Uk to Gozo in the campervan with all the gear we plan to have a more relaxing time from near Paphos this year. Sadly Colin 9H4CT has passed away after helping last year. He will be sorely missed for visitors to Gozo.

Hopefully I will have the ‘suitcase verticals’ at a good location for the contest, despite the silly baggage allowance on easyjet.

Another low power restricted entry but I hope for good propagation on 10m from 5B.

Travellers Tales podcast

Afternoon Bob,

Band changing in the Gambia

What I forgot to mention was that Alan’s multiband Dipole uses links, so a QSY required climbing up on the neighbouring roof to change. No instant band changing!
