First garden portable activity of the year on SO-50
25 January 2015 | by 
Yesterday, it was a cold but dry day and I thought it would be fun to go out in the garden and see what I could hear and work on SO-50. I quickly put a bit of charge into the UV-5R portable and assembled the Elk yagi.
The first pass I tried was off to the east and although I could hear plenty, I didn’t manage a QSO. The next pass after that was pretty much overhead and I was a lot more successful, working 2E1EBX also using handheld gear, over on the Norfolk coast and then Yuri, UT1FG/MM in IO90 on his way up to Hull.
Really enjoyable and not too cold.
