£22 ? it was a pool type thing...percentage of entry fee ..
Won two flyfishing competitions, ironically at the same place, only fished the place twice too, possibly the best? I won a place in a national stillwater competition through 3 qualifiers (trout fishing), I'll keep my experience to myself..... :laugh: but it never involved fish. Sponsored by a national brewery, eyes lit up when the lorry drew up and started unloading case after off..they gave us two cans, I wonder what they did with the rest of it, I said no thanks, someone had to be at it.

I use the UnUn and wire not the pole....I keep meaning to add a certain length of wire to it to see what happens, it works..
Must be near 30 contacts today..
I'd too much on my plate today,
even busier tomorrow..awfy busy..
The advantage of this antenna it can be 'hidden', I know folk who use something like it but it goes up a downpipe, stealth at its best...
Off to log..
Still seems an odd amount as a prize, but I never paid into the pot or took part.
Two competitions same locations and you finished twice. Were the same fish caught twice. Fishing competition where fish were not involved. Sounds a bit like some Irish ones I've seen. Sponsored by a national brewery, was it at least a Scottish owned one?
Maybe they were letting the fish have a drink, make them easier catch.

If you don't use the pole, what's it actual role?
A certain length, any particular length in mind...
Near 30 contacts, a bit of a daily difference...
Maybe get a bigger plate, fit more on it. Then you'll just need more time to get through it all.
Awfy busy, again! I thought you were supposed to be taking things easy still.
Fella four doors on had one on the outside of one of the downpipes on a house. Black on black meaning it didn't stand out too much. You'd to look twice to be certain it wasn't just the downpipe.
Logging done...

Good morning from a sunny but cool Towers :hello:
A delivery has been received, the takeaway one is later..
Polly has been up on the stand and been fettled a wee bit more, who knows, soon?
Local birds opened the food bin again, those ravens are bright birds...
Starlings and jackdaws swept up the remaining noodles, I stood and watched them, well it saved me a sweep but I did hose it down...
The ole currant is streaming through these blinds, too dark with a blackout curtain, methinks..
If you can't be good? be bad.......

Owdo from a wet West Riding, although the sun does try occasionally to break through.
A question if I may. I realise you're not in Southern California, but why when you asked for any spare rain to be sent your way(Each and every Highway) was it returned to sender. Were it the wrong sort or summat?
Ooh another delivery, owt good or just the usual... The takeaway, Indian or Chinese?
Maybe polly knows but she's not letting on until she released from solitary, and allowed onto that newish cycle track/path near you.
There's been reports of tools(twigs and suchlike being used) seen being used to get jobs done.
Noodles, were there oodles of them to attack.
No need for hosepipes down here, Mother Nature is doing a fair enough job on her own.
The Ole Currant Bun isn't making much of an effort round these parts. Blackout blinds not required at present.
Oh I can be bad, so much easier than trying to be good all day.

The pole is only for support as I was using it as a vertical...
the wire can be any direction, a sloper, horizontal or vertical..
They all have their advantages, I prefer horizontal as it can a bit less noise level plus it more suitable pour moi.....
Anyway..

Early, early start as new bed arrived, old one dismantled and stored until Friday pickup, youngest Mhor presently doing the bed building exercise. The pickup has picked up, Bob has gardened, trough waiting to be filled with some compost then I'll plant it up...
The number contacts are mostly on how much time the radio is on, I've 8 so far today...but limited time.
My last Towers, had a half wave dipole cut for 40m up since 1981 and no one ever mentioned, plastic coated wire the same colour as downpipe. Tucked in at the back, eight ounce lead weight at bottom of both end...

I'm on making lunch so poodletip....

I'm not far from California, less than 10 miles?
Takeaways through here not the same quality as our last tip....
Just a handful of noodles (our fave chinese is a 40 mins round trip plus waiting time......)

So, where in that picture is your wire.
A "sloper" giving you the best of both vertical and horizontal worlds, in theory...
Each to their own on things like this.
Anyway!

You should have slept on the sofa last night, having taken it down yesterday. Or did you want one last sleep in yer old bed. You did the disassembly of the old one, once evryone had finished using it. New bed better than the old, or straight replacement. Meaning no reclining sleeping position for you and no built in coffee maker. has the pickup gone...
What's tha planning on planting this time.
Stands to reason really, if it's not on you can neither send nor receive. No more quiet days all to yourself?
Setup sound similar. There's only the one that really stands out, and I've posted pictures of that one.

Did the chef keep their job after making lunch...

I'm about the same distance from Egypt and Scotland. With the Wailing Wall even closer.
Wouldn't trust the local takeaways. Don't think we've any on a tip though...
A handful, still required the hosepipe though.

Of course she did....
Young miss Mhor built a bed and a couple of units...
Compared to one I stripped down (and previously built) they have just went over the top how its made.
Keep it simple...more likely trying to drum up business for getting them to build it..
Anyhow it worked:cuppa:

I even made a voice contact to ITA......

I have some trays of flowers at side of the building to pot up,
two pots to fix to the fence and my spuds are fair cracking on in their little tubs.
Tummy rumbles so guess what?
Wrong, something else today..

Good morning :hello: :cuppa:
Jeez, Thursday already..
Doesn't time fly when you don't want it to:laugh:
Enjoy your day
Owdo
Ere, you were the one who couldn't wait for Friday to show up.
That's because they're able to sneak more of it past you when yer unaware. Leaving yer wondering where it's gone.
I can but try...

Slept on the couch, whilst you slept in't bed!
Is she self taught, or did you help her on her way with her self assembly skills.
The "instructions" are getting more Meccano like, something missing in order to get you thinking. And increase aftersales in spare parts in things such as screws, bolts and nuts.
Was that because you were only "supervising" and not assembling with someone else.

You working on yer Italian now?

Only two trays, won't take you too long...
Will the pots have anything edible in them, or just for show. Fence holding up under the weight yer putting on them. Spuds, enough for the one meal.
Tummy rumbles and you can't eat. That's unfair...

When you start looking they seem to appear everywhere.
Wasn't yours were it?

Youngest is skilful at this game...
All hand done, I have a powered screwdriver thing but nope, all tightened by hand...
Held up so far.

I forgot to tell you about the very pleasant person I received an email from?
I apparently uploaded an electronic QSL response but one bit was missing, it never completed. I get a standard email form the Ukrainian gentleman so I reply apologetic, my bed etc..
I got a reply in Russian to go forth and multiply myself :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I'd post the image but this is a family friendly forum...

Didn't do much radio yesterday,
It's busy this early, hmm..
Shaved ones napper last night, young miss will be very comfused, I only have take off me gregorys and who's this look appears:laugh:

Owdo tha noo...
No need to rub it in, you'll have rain and wet starts soon...
On top of a venetian/vertical blind. I dunno... Try and report back... Halfway through the month.
You don't have to cut it badly...
I'd go for a lawnmower over Toodles anytime for grass cutting.

I'll try, promise...

I saw the one who told me to go multiply..
Chased and caught then I checked the qsl situation, one left for me,
I did this, childish I know but gives a sense of 'something'
eQSL rejection.jpg


Grass cut after Toodles and Granny disappeared,
looked grey and iffy but all done except the strimming (no cord)..
I'll get brownie points ^_^
Took it a bit lower than normal, need to cut twice a week minimum to see if I can get rid of the rougher grasses and 'pee the beds' as we call them up here.
Rain's been forecast but none yet..
