York, sacked?
Lorry loads of Yorkie bars, Yorkshire Tea heading N, spoils of a good sacking, eh...

We sometimes watch the jet trails heading over and see what plane and where it is going, over etc..
so I said to Mrs M, that one not too to the SE above us, I'm going to bounce my 2m VHF tx off it for aircraft scatter....
I do and work somebody in Glasgow:laugh:
It's a contact...
with that plane overhead, he gets me -11, without -21 so it works....
Quiet as some meteor shower is fading out I think...
I'd need to run more power for any chance of that and then it would be right place, right time...
You'll understand why we wish to stop this happening again though.

Pair of you lounging about in the shade.
Sturgeon Moon last night and persioid meteor shower at its most visible, for a few more days.

Directional aerial?
They'll work out where you are, possibly paying a visit!

Pity there wasn't anything else worthwhile to pillage....
now if it was the other rose county, we could have tankers of Betty's 'Otpot heading N...
oh, well.

It's amazing how you can 'ping' off meteor debris..
some dedicated folk out there..
I'll just 'bounce' off overhead planes..
One 'spot' from NWales (Caernarvon?) and one from just E of Ballina:cuppa:
Others (5) across Jockland..

Radio club meeting so no radio tonight..
Zebedee just round the corner methinks.....

It'd have been cold and greasy by the time you got back north o'border. Chocolate, from the nations second capital, would be so much better. And the puddings you could eat cold, just to keep you going on the trip back homewards.
Maybe next time...

You see anything in the sky tonight?
Which Ballina, there's half a dozen of them. The two better known ones being in County Mayo and County Tipperary.
Both close to airports.
Anything interesting from those over "jockland".

I'd be careful, you never know why he's hanging around street corners!

You're out driving in your car!
I dunno...
Wasn't the fishing that took you to Ballina, Co. Mayo was it.
Fly fishing on the River Moy?

You reckon you'll get anything?

Odd for google. They like to show others what your house looks like.
Province level not County, that is poor.

Would that be the one week fishing trip, when you weren't allowed to.

Rain after 14:00 today for you. Slight easing of temperature, but not much. It'll be muggy tonight.

I assume the cost of using google maps on the website comes into the zooming level..
Google Map website use turned to a pay model a few years ago..
I use it for a personal project and am allowed so many views free each month....

If they're charging to use it, I can understand folk wanting to ay them as little as they can. Might explain why some sites have dropped it.
Not a big user of their maps, so never noticed.
Targeting of certain places?

A site like the radio one I use to see who's spotting me, must have views daily running into phew, lots.
I assume you can still get a certain level of map cheaply..

Headed out in the Chevy, not the levy but crossed W to Helensburgh...
birth place of TV bloke J.L. Baird.
Nice night and should have waited for sunset...

Agree, but they're not the only popular map provider out there. Ask/demand too much and folk will stop using them.
It's not as though they don't get enough from you in other ways.
Lots, the best guesstimate you have?

The levy were probably dry anyway...
He may have been born up there, but he did his best work in Yorkshire. Despite the odd mishap or two along the way.
Why didn't you, probably would have made a nice picture. The pair of you silhouetted against the setting sun.

Yeah, but they are good...
Anyhoo, next time it'll be higher up and a sunset watch..
I do miss the west coast sunsets..
anyway I'm out,
busy...
