CB and amateur radio

It is a while since I listened on 11m CB, but in the past the CB band was busy when the 10m amateur band appeared to be dead. 

It is my view that at some point in the future there will be a merging of amateur radio and CB. I have come across an online SDR which monitors the CB band from the UK.

Born in a stately home!

After WW2 Flete House in Devon was a nursing home. This is where I was born. At the time we lived in a council house.

4m transverter

 This was designed and built some years ago and is on my main website.  It was also in GQRP SPRAT.

Old photo

The validity of this photo is not known. I first saw it well before AI!  If correct, it is probably a photo of a human being born in the 1700s

Working Antarctica

 This may be a rare chance to work a station in Antarctica although you might have to be quick as I think the station is only active for a few days.

Soham

 Soham is a fenland town about 8km from our village. This was a view earlier with the church behind the trees.

Autumn in our village

Many trees in our village have lost their leaves until the spring when new buds will form and the cycles go on as they have for millions of years.

70cm FT8

 

Last evening 34 stations were spotted in the activity contest on 70cm FT8. See map. This is typical . Amazing.
