Alan reported on a number of events happening soon, as shown on the website: Cockenzie Mini-Rally (12 Aug); 2m Trophy contest (2-4 Sept); GM3VLB SOTA Islands Award - 59 candidates so far; GMRT (22 Oct); He had just received the excellent MoC Transmitting magazine, by coincidence also #100. Peter would provide the recordings of this and a previous net shortly (technical issue). He had been out to Bathgate on a plumbing job - drains, don't ask!. He had been listening to MF beacons in Scandinavia and Czech Republic. He noted that the rally was on Aug 12th - Grouse day! Briain had had a few local QSOs. He wasn't sure about Grouse, prefers Glenlivet! As usual, Mike was calling-in to say hi from his car on the way home from Corstorphine.
Recording tnx Peter GM4DTH:
