Saturday 19:42Hours:
The following stations are currently on the air and seem to be working a reasonable amount of DX;
50MHz, 144MHz, 432MHz and 1296MHz. The stations are running 400W to an 8lel yagi on 50MHz, 144MHz is running 400W to a pair of 17ele yagi's, 432MHz is running 400W to a box of 4 X 21ele tonnas and 1296MHz is running 150W to a 2.4M dish at around 35ft above ground level.
On site inter station communications has been provided by wireless LAN, and an IRC server is used for real time text chat between the stations. Fast Internet access is also available via wireless lan to all stations that are operating on the field.
So far, no major issues have been found, and all stations seem to be operating nicely.
It's also nearly time to have a trip to the pub for some food.
