Born to be wild - 73's G4LUE
Here comes the sun! Lovely today in YD land.
Wheels de-greased, M.O.T. paid, it’s time to hit the road armed with my Ic-E92 and GPS mic.
Hope to work you via D-STAR

The D*UGN northern meeting took place this evening at the three horses shoes in Brierley.
We streamed LIVE to the DUGN/ SYRG website and also provided audio from reflector 5a.
Points raised in the meeting.
The group discussed 23cms allocations and the implications of the rollout of microwave D-STAR in YD land and over the Pennines in to Manchester.
We also discussed our install of a microwave back haul near Barnsley District General Hospital which will be used as a more stable connection and our internet back haul located in Cudworth will be used for redundancy.
We also discussed a 3G mobile network connection to take over operations in an emergency or outage if both back hauls fail.
A good night was had by all. Great to see you there in person and in LIVE chat.

Mike, is a “man’s man” and involved in all kinds of outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating. Likewise, Mike (and Tim) has a love for all the electronics that go with these activities. Among Mike’s interests is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio). Tim's character (Mike Baxter), is KA0XTT. This is a call sign the show cleared for use on air. "XTT" is a bit of a private joke as Tim's character name on "Home Improvement" was Tim Taylor. So, ex T. T.
