Although the day started out a little chilly and slightly windy that didn’t deter Danny Shurmer and Simon Taylor from setting up radios operating on 2m, 70cm, 2m ssb and most other modes including 10m at the Rhosgadfan lookout where they were treated to magnificent views of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and the Nantlle Ridge and some excellent radio contacts.
Danny had 2m and 70cm and 2m ssb radios setup but decided to stick on 2m fm. Simon however had most of the other modes including 10m. We were later joined by Dafydd MW7EUG and Harry which was very interesting as Dafydd was testing out a new radio and Harry demonstrated PMR working on a repeator in Ireland using a Quansheng radio!
As the day progressed a few more club members joined us ,Marc Bloor and Maria, John Clare wife and dogs and John from Barmouth. We also had Jason MW0JYY and Cai when they did “eventually”find us.
Simon had good contacts on 10m to Brazil and Puerto Rico. Not bad for a home built piece of wire. Dafydd had mainly local contacts including 4m, abit rare around here. Mine were mostly local with trip down to Steve GW0GEI down near Lampeter.
I must admit that I spent a lot of time yapping in Welsh. Some of the people must have thought we were on Mars!! A good day was had by all.
