Request QSL via Buro

Gavin, M1BXF — Mon, 14 May 2012 19:36:27 +0000

If you are reading this then I hope we managed to work you while on Mull. It was our best year yet for QSO numbers and we had lots of fun doing the DX’Pedition, speaking to so many people all around the world and we managed to work stations in over 100 countries without trying, DXCC it is then.

If you did work us and wish to receive a QSL card from your QSO via the buro then we can save you the time and effort of you sending us one. Making use of Michael G7VJR’s brilliant Clublog you can check your QSO history with us and then request a QSL card online, saving you sending us one. This is not a replacement to direct QSL cards, which should still be sent via M0VFC, but it saves you and us time organising buro QSL cards.

GS3PYE/P Group Shot

M1ACB — Sun, 06 May 2012 11:02:43 +0000

The GS3PYE/P group stopped for lunch at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar on the way back from Mull. The gang’s all there, except for Steve M1ACB who has a face better suited to standing the other side of the camera and taking the picture.

The group decided to lug the microwave kit up to the top of the hill – approx 130m ASL, all systems go and waiting for QSOs at this stage!

Satellite QSOs on Mull

2e0sql — Thu, 03 May 2012 13:49:56 +0000

This afternoon we made our first satellite QSOs, 2M0SQL (operating the radio), MM0VFC (Antenna Rotator), MM0LCM (Camera Man) went up the hill by the cottage with a clear take off all around. Using a FT-817 and Arrow antenna we were able to work two stations EA1JM and OM3WAN via AO-27 and hope to be on a few other passes during today and tomorrow.

CQ BBC Radio Cambridge

So this morning Dominic M0BLF had a different type of sked to keep, this one was with Jeremy Sallis on the BBC Radio Cambridge breakfast show. Dominic was live on the show just before 07:00 GMT.

You can hear Dominic’s QSO with Jeremy on BBC iPlayer which starts at 1h55m32s into the program (the link should take you there).
