Goooood moooorning Facebook chums. Today is mostly driving up to Blandford Garrison for the CQWW SSB contest with RSARS. Looking forward to some rf and working the world on the radios. Have a great weekend y’all.

There’s a bit of a breeze out there tonight…

Just shows how well made these radios are…

Morning friends in my phone. A bit wet & windy out there this morning. Not as many joggers around as usual. Even I decided against a walk, and I’m Northern where this is tropical weather!

Morning everyone, Spec and his mate are busy bees this morning. Have a good day all, and remember we ar closer to next years holidays than we are last years.

The rat rod has been parked up all night, looks awesome.

The pier light show is still going. But a lot better.

A nice laser/light show on the pier at the minute, don’t know where it’s coming from cos the pier is closed.

Have a go peeps, a good bit of fun.

In need of some help. Just finished this roll of film and I can’t find the lead to download it onto my pc, does anyone have this type of connector I could borrow please? Or know where to get one???

Morning folks, thought I would do the trout pout that seems to be trendy with us youngsters. Autumn Equinox day so all have a good one, and enjoy the sun.

Morning world. Heavy rain overnight, but looks to be turning into a nice day. Have a good one y’all.

First time out of the flat since coming home from work on Wednesday, the lurgi sure did knock me out. Voice almost back, but throat still sore. It’s a beautiful day down here, plenty of folk out on the seafront.

I thought the wind farm was only a couple of miles offshore, but a Googly check shows them at 5 1/2 miles away. That boat is probably at least another mile beyond them. How does something that big & heavy stay afloat?

Feel like Otis Reading - or is it Vic & Bob - “Sitting on the dock of the bay…” Morning folks from the north Kent coast.

By eck that’s a bigun…

Afternoon people of X. For past few days I have been wiped out with lurgi, and lost my voice - as always happens when I get colds/flu - and have been at home. So I’m late with my daily photo, there’s loads of big ships out there but this one stands out the most at the minute.

Another debut from the recent IBEX show, is the MA-600TRBB Class B+ AIS Transponder which you can read more details about here in this pre-release PDF: icomuk.co.uk/files/icom/P... We expect this model to be available at the beginning of next season. #ICOM #marineradio #boating #marineelectronics

“Up above the streets and houses…” Well over the sea. A difference from this morning.

Icom unveiled 2 new marine models at the recent IBEX show, including the IC-M430 marine VHF radio. Watch a video about it on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=bh_W... Or read the pre-release PDF here: icomuk.co.uk/files/icom/P... #ICOM #marineradio #boating

Morning kiddiwinks, not a nice day down here today. A tad damp with a stiff breeze, and to top it off I am feeling like crap & lost my voice. All the hand shakes with the great unw….. I mean radio friends at the weekend given me a bug. Have a good day y’all.

If any of my friends have one download and update now.

Come and have a go.

Morning beautiful people, and you ugly ones too. Slightly more than a breeze of yesterday, with some white caps out there. Managed to avoid that photo bomber today. Have a good one y”all.

Morning…

A very interesting and fun weekend. Good to chat with old friends and make some new ones.

Morning, not a good day out there today, blowing a hooley and rain. Can’t see the wind farm out at sea. Running late so no seafront walk, so it will be this evening after work. Have a good day y’all.

A very good day at the RSGB convention. Just ready for dinner, a couple of beers and then tomorrow we go again. It was good to see all those that said hello too.

And true to his words he paid up. @tim-m0urx.bsky.social

A little grey out there this morning. Friday, must be RSGB Convention weekend. See you at Kents Hill later.

Looks like I have now found a club to attend locally.

Introducing the IC-M430 Fixed-Mount VHF Radio—featuring a first-in-class colour TFT display, built-in GPS, and a sleek, compact design. Plus, the new MA-600TRBB Class B+ AIS Transponder with 5W SOTDMA technology and a built-in antenna splitter. More details here: icomuk.co.uk/ICOM-Launch-...

A bit of a nip in the air this morning, blue skies and wispy clouds. Life is good on the coast. Have a great day everyone.

Tonight I attended the East Kent Radio Society (EKRS) meeting for the first time. Thank you all for the warm welcome and I will be back. An interesting presentation on Cabin Fm (94.6), the local community radio station. In a beautiful windmill.

Icom Inc. have released a firmware update for IC-905 Transceiver and its CS-905 Programming Software. The updates provide improvements to both the radio and software. Click here for links to the downloads: icomuk.co.uk/Icom-IC-905-... #icom #amatuerradio #hamradio #firmware

See you there, come and say hello and bring coffee’s for the 2 Chris’…

Good morning from Herne Bay. Hope you all have a good day, grey skies but still warm. The view to the pub, Four Fathoms, less than 110m from home.

Starting to get late early now.

Any hoteliers out there?

I think this could be how I will be on the air from my new place, but with a small ATU for a random wire.

Just seen them…

Looks like I will have to get the scanner hooked up to try and decode these.

Here’s one for all you university or business owners out there.

Morning walk done, a gorgeous day for a headache. Tebbit said get on your bike, so I think I might and start going to work on it.
