Hello ghastly ghouls South Coast PMR net report - Page 10 1f47b and monsters of the night

Welcome to another grisly Ray reviews the Monday night South Coast PMR net

or

"Día de los Muertos"

The net was held on 31-10-2022, Halloween night or all hollows eve and could have been on channel 13 but we stayed on 14 for safety!

Before getting to my normal location on Ashdown Forest, I collected all the things I would need to survivor the night, Garlic, wooden stakes, Crossbow, silver bullets, holy water, fire and coffee.
Now armed to the teeth, I drove across the dark parts of the forest and the words "stay on the road keep off the moors" randomly popped into my head and 'Was parking in a dark lonely carpark and good idea tonight?' I thought.

I pulled into a dark spooky Radio Corner with my head lights on full beam, but even this didn't have any effect as it seemed the darkness was just swallowing the light.

After putting up the antenna, I locked myself in the vehicle and plugged in the TYT TH-9800, which seemed cursed as the mic plug problems came back to haunt me.
Out came the backup radio, which was a QYT KT 8900D, and away we went.

If your new to the Monday night net or maybe live in the area that the net covers, you can find us on channel 14 or 446.16875 and no CTCSS tones.

Now on with the list of stations that called in and were heard and or worked by the net (some have been added for fun)

The net was held on Monday 14-11-2022 and can be found on channel 14, no CTCSS tones needed.

The weather at Radio Corner was torrential rain 🌧�, mixed in with heavy rain ☔ and sometimes the odd bit of light rain with rain.

The net starts at about 8 o'clockish but sometimes you can find people chatting away before the unofficial official start time  scratch

My set up for the night was the QYT KT 8900D (which is not so good on receive as the TYT TH-9800) and the 'Sputnik' 1/4 wave GPA.

Did I mention that it was raining on the night?

Some of the topics of conversation were the surprising results of Dean CT 1829 making contact with both Tony CT 4013 in Brighton and John CT 4515 on Ditchling Beacon handset to handset and the 10 year old gas bottles in Ray C5 CT 3466 camper van, that Nigel did not mention diodes or resistors 😆 or did he and the rain.

"What do you call a beam that swings in the breeze?"

The net was held on the 21st of November 2022 and much to everybody's surprise started on time, yes on time at 8 o'clock 🕗.

My location was Radio Corner, Ashdown 🌳🌲 Forest in the county of West Sussex and now costs £5 a visit or £80 a year.

My working conditions for the night were the QKY KT-8900D and Deans repurposed 3-pronged Nagoya ground plan kit.

The weather was cold, clear and windy with the temperature in the mobile shack at 17 degrees C and at the end of the night, the outside temperature was down to 4 degrees C.

A taste of what was talked about, going off grid, would it be possible to warm a room with a diesel heater like the one's in lorry 🚛 sleeper cabs, the commentary from 441 watching 4515 putting up his pole in the wind, solar panels and when Graham the landlord will be up to collect the rent from 441 & 4515 (who will have the better biscuits 🍪?)

That about wraps thing up, but before my finals the answer to a beam swinging in the breeze is a 'weathervane' 😆😆

The weather on the night was clear on the hills with misty fog in the valleys, cold and from Radio Corner you could see the crescent moon 🌙

My set up for the night was the QYT KT-8900D and Deans (gifted to me) antenna.

"is this the end?"

The net was held on the 12/12/2022 from a cold, dry, snow covered Radio Corner, Ashdown Forest in the county of East Sussex.
 
The net is held on channel 14 or 446.16875 MHz and does not use any CTCSS tones so that it is open to anyone and everyone that is in the area and starts around the 8 o'clock or 20:00 mark

My set up was the QYT KT8900D feeding the Dean built GPA antenna up on a pole.

Here is the list of stations heard and or worked by the net

CT 1033--Chris--Tonbridge--Kent
CT 1829--Dean--Edenbridge--Kent

And myself--CT 2290--Ray--Ashdown Forest--East Sussex

The net suddenly finished when one of the above listed stations said to the group lets go to channel 31 on the UKFM, leaving me all alone.

So I packed down and went home.

"Oh bother, I think it's broken!"

The net was held on Monday 19th of December 2022 and was on channel 14 or 446.16875MHz using no CTCSS tones so that it's open to anyone.

My location was a damp, rainy ☔, wet, cold 🥶 and windy Radio Corner, Ashdown Forest 🌳🎄🌲 in the county of East Sussex and what a difference 7 days make!
Last week I was in shorts walking in the snow now its puddles & mud.

The set up was the QYT KT 8900D with a Dean built GPA up on a mast.

Now on with list of stations that called in & were heard and or worked by the net.

CT 3466--Ray C5--Ashdown Forest--East Sussex--Camper van rocking in the wind
KP 441--Steve--Ditchling Beacon--East Sussex--Warming up the spot
CT 1033--Chris--Tonbridge--Kent--Listening to his creaking radio shack
CT 4362--Chris--Reigate Town--Surrey
TK 08--George--Tonbridge--Kent
London Calling--Mark--Leyton--East London
OM 001--Graham--Burgess Hill--West Sussex
CT 4657--Paul M--Vigo Village--Kent
Speed Bird--Russell--Reigate Hill--Surrey--Missing the Ark Royal 🚢
Zoe M--From Santa's santa  lap singing Christmas 🎄 songs
CT 4281 (The Hadlow Hustler)--Dick--Hadlow--Kent
CT 4515--John--Ditchling Beacon--East Sussex--Warmed up by KP 441
TW 460--Richard--Royal Tunbridge Wells--Kent
and not forgetting me, CT 2290--Ray--Ashdown Forest--East Sussex--The one with the pen 🖊� & paper 📃

So the net got underway just after 8 o'clock 🕗 and all was going well, until I started to receive radio reports of bad audio and little to no signal.
Had the cheap Chinese radio given up on me? Was it the weather? Had the radio defaulted to low power because of a low battery voltage or was it something more sinister?
After a quick check of everything in the mobile shack, it was time to brave the wind and rain and check the antenna.

This is what I found



After years of use, abuse and being stood on, the mast gave up in the wind/gales.
But being resourceful, the mast was fixed and back up, but a bit shorter.

Thank you all who called in, and had a giggle at my mast problems and the suggestions on how to 'get it back up'

Some of the topics chatted about were, tanks in strange places and how much to run them in the current climate, the weather, hurricane 🌀 bunkers, guns 🔫 and gun law, wood burning stoves, my mast and Nigel Camper Van Man being missing for the second week.

That wraps up another PMR report.

If you are new to this thread, the net can be found on channel 14 or 446.16875 MHz and uses no CTCSS tones so this makes it open to all.

I was in a restaurant the other day, and asked the waiter for a bottle of wine. He said "what year sir?", I said "now would be nice"

The net starts at about 8 o'clock 🕗 in the evening, depending who is on or when I arrive and finishes about 11ish 🕚

My set up for the night belonged to Dean CT 1829 who was testing out his new mast, new rotator and beam.

The weather was cold and cloudy and at the start of the net the temperature was about 4 degrees C and at the end it had fallen to just above 2 degrees C

There are 3 types of people in this world, those who can count and those who can't.

The net was held on Monday the 30th of January 2023 and can be found on channel 14 (446.16875 MHZ), no CTCSS tones and NOT on digital.

The set up was the QYT KT-8900D and the 'Dean' made antenna up on a pole and my location was a cold but clear Ashdown Forest 🌳 in the county of East Sussex.

The net, I think, was started by Dean (CT1829) as I arrived fashionably late.

Here is my list of stations heard and or worked by the net.

A bear walks into a bar and says "Can I have a Whiskey and . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Coke
The bartender asks, why the big pause?
The bear shrugged his shoulders and said, I don't know, I was born with them!

Here are some of the topics of conversation during the night.
Changing the mic socket on a Space U to a 4 or 6 pin socket, Nigel's trip to Africa, Dean and his homemade remote control for his rotator and the Reliant Robin and Kitten.

Hello

Welcome to another episode of Ray reviews the Monday PMR net

or

"You think it's all, but I have 1 or 2 jokes left to tell"

This South Coast PMR net was held on Monday the 06/02/2023.
The net can be found on channel 14 or 446.16875 MHz, we use NFM on analogue  and no CTCSS tones.
The net is scheduled to start 20.00 Hrs 🕗 or 8 o'clock PM, but you can try earlier as there is sometimes a pre-net chat.
My location for the night was a busy Radio Corner, Ashdown 🌳 Forest in the county of East Sussex
Checking Hepburn's DX info centre, it showed some promising colour over the Southeast corner of the UK and extending towards France with French stations being heard on channel 5 and 8.
