G2DXU: Dartmoor DXpedition Recce
http://g2dxu.blogspot.com/2011/04/dartmoor-dxpedition-recce.html
UK Amateur Radio Station. Friday, 22 April 2011. It was a good way to start the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. A trip to Dartmoor with M0PCZ. And his XYL, SWL 'SXM' to find a suitable location for our little DXpedition on International Marconi Day. On 30th April 2011. Despite a little rain at first it turned out to be a lovely sunny day and we made a unanimous decision about the place we want to operate from on Marconi Day after having a picnic there and taking some photos. Paul's will be MR0PCZ. The calls...

Tuesday, 31 July 2012. So its the middle of summer (well I say summer but there really should be only one season in Ireland.Damp! And NCRG events are stacking up for August. The first one is one I am personally looking forward to.NCRG does Spike Island! This is Ireland's Alcatraz and bound to be a sought after event, seeing as it hasnt been done before and is also classed as a CASHOTA. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The YL Eye: February 2014
http://ei9gsb.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 February 2014. Anyone know where I can buy spare time? Its been a while since I've posted here but it appears 24 hours in the day just isn't long enough! I've a busy year to date, already had a great club activity at Blackrock Castle, arranged another activity for Marconi Day, and it's rally season again. Blackrock Castle was a great day, we kicked off Engineers Week on the 9 February and made some lovely contacts on 15m, including lots of US stations! But most surprising of all is that I have...

The YL Eye: Estonia - Part 2
http://ei9gsb.blogspot.com/2013/08/estonia-part-2.html
Monday, 5 August 2013. Estonia - Part 2. However, the sights in Tallinn are stunningly beautiful and Kristjan (our new guide/chauffeur) kindly brought us to the Teletorn Tower, a magnificent structure which brought us 21 floors up to the most amazing view of Tallinn ever, I havent seen a sight like this in my life. It was spectacular, 360 degrees of contrasting industrial and forestry, mixed with a little suburbia and sea. Astounding. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Awesome ...

The YL Eye: January 2013
http://ei9gsb.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 January 2013. I was on the way to work the other morning when I get a call from Tony. He advises me that the results for the CQWW contest are in and I had received number 1 rookie in Ireland, as well as 5th in Ireland totally! I was quite surprised at this, considering that I wasn't even going to enter it, other than to provide a check log, as I didn't think the score was of any great comparison to the big leaguers.

The YL Eye: October 2012
http://ei9gsb.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 29 October 2012. CQ WW - where the cool DXCC's come out. Well this weekend was a lot of fun, especially as it was the CQ WW contest. Although I didnt take part in the contest itself (as in I have no intention of submitting my log) I did use it as the perfect opportunity to gain some new DXCC's and possibly working some rare ones also. So all in all, I was extremely pleased with my measley contacts, approx 57 in all, but this weekend quality was definately better than quantity! Banged up in Gaol!

The YL Eye: March 2014
http://ei9gsb.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 16 March 2014. All the countries out to play (radio, that is). Ive spent the last number of weeks popping on and off the air trying to chase some of those elusive countries Ive never been able to catch, to my surprise there are significantly more than I thought for me to nab. My HRD map showing my QSO spots is looking a lot like a little childs drawing, lots of colour with very little to be seen underneath lol Europe is now invisible, so need to get working on those blank areas!

Sunday, 14 July 2013. Contesters - fair play or just plain rude? As you may know the IARU HF World Championship took place this weekend, a battle of the Kw stations taking over the airwaves in a frenzy of 59, 59, 59 and very little else involved. Now I like to take part in the odd contest, a flurry of activity to change the experience from regular QSO's in a bid to rack up points and even new dxccs or prefixes, but some contesters take the biscuit. Only 1 kHz away! It really annoyed me if Im honest.
