Welcome

Welcome to my world.
I am located in Coed-llai, Cymru.(1083kd). Now we own a small holding up a mountain in North Wales, 550 ft above sea level, for the first time, space is not an issue. Turning one of our out buildings into our radio shack. We can use any antenna we wish.
I have been licensed since February 2006. The same year I married the love of my life GW7APM (Clive Mockford).
I have now finished my degree in Dairy Herd Management, so now I have a FdSc. When I left school I couldn't read or write very well at all. But after meeting Clive (GW7APM), he showed me just how hard life was going to be without being able to read or write, so I went back to adult college, where I got my GCSE's in English and Maths. So I have now split my time up into two parts.
Part One = The love of my life Clive (GW7APM)
Part
Two = The other love in my life - COWS.
Now
you must be thinking she is a bit funny, and yes you are right. I am more then a bit funny, I have the paperwork to prove it.(HAHA)
This
was the shack that we were running in Twickenham, but because of where we were, we can't put any large antennas up, so we were using the Yaesu FT7800E running 10 watts in each of the vehicles to a ¼ wave mounted on the roof.
We
are now using the Moonraker SQBM1000P 30 feet on the roof of the outbuilding, together with a half size G5RV both mounted 30 feet up. At present our main rig is a Yaesu FT847 running 10 watts on 2mtrs and
70cms, 100 watts on 6mtrs into a Moonraker SQBM1000P, and 100 watts on HF into a G5RV or a Diamond BB7V. I also have a Kenwood TR7800 2mtrs running 25 watts as a back-up. Clive was also using this rig so some of this is set up for him,(not me).
I was a member of the South Cheshire Amateur Radio Society and have been a member of the Wimbledon and District Amateur Radio Society since 2005, and have served on the committee for many years.
From the club we support many radio based activites. We hold a summer radio camp at Crossways Farm, Reigate, Surrey UK,
where all are welcome. We operate as many bands, as equipment allows, for about a week in July each year. Details are available from the club, via the club web site,
