    Welcome Ron. I have a solar powered beacon on 13.5605. I also used to be a broadcast engineer.

    Used to be? Honey, once a broadcast engineer, always a BCE. It's an "in the blood" thingy. We are a dying breed. I wonder how many of them today can run radial readings on an AM or do a proof. It's been so long for me, I don't even know if that has to be done anymore with all the dereg and what not. I would think you would to ensure compliance with rules, regs, and station license parameters.

    Owdy mate. Welcome to the island shores. Pull up a rock, relax, and our pub tender will be along shorty to serve you an umbrella drink or an ale. I'll join you, and we'll put them on Carl's tab.

    Nice to meet you, Jamie and welcome to The Island. I think you'll find the natives friendly and the umbrella drinks to your liking—especially since all drinks here go on my tab, which I never pay.

    I see you're a fan of the digital modes so perhaps we can make a PSK31 QSO one day. With my wimpy little station, it's my preferred mode of operation as well.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Hi Jamie,

    So do tell...
    Is ARSE an actual radio society that doesn't translate well across the pond?
    Or is it a hilarious, intentional spoof designed to make me laugh my ARSE off, like I did?

    Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.

    Hi Jamie - and welcome!

    I recently got into PSK31 - perhaps I can put you in the log on 20-10M some time.
