I saw the first swallow of the year yesterday, which is about (or maybe exactly) the same day as the last two years. I finally collected the new spiggots for the 20m tower, and got the head unit fitted last night. There's so much broken and needing repaired I don't know when I'll get it all done.
The Kenpro 600 rotator on the 40m tower has lost 3 teeth off the main gear. Understandable because it was never going to be able to handle a 402CD. Now I have to find parts. The HAM 4 on the 10m tower really just fell apart. One of the limit switches seems to be jammed open and the terminal block on the base has disintegrated. The boom and 2 elements on my 4ele 20m yagi broke so the bits have been ordered for that and a new rivetting machine has been ordered.
Have decided to go to GD (Isle of Man) to do the IOTA Contest. This seems to have upset a few folk. None of whom live on the Isle of Man. I don't believe that the Isle of Man is a place to win IOTA from.
