After all this radio, walked to the top of Dunkery beacon to see the view up the bristol channel was like. Impressive!

Also worked g8cub/p on cleeve common cheltenham at 136km on 24 and 47GHz (nil on 76GHz too much water on path) and g4uvz on 24GHz but best dx was hearing gb3zme/b on 24GHz at 181km!

Out portable on dunkery beacon slopes in somerset working @G8GTZ @davegkq on 24GHz DATV and g4ldr on 47GHz cw on bulbarrow hill at 96km. Not an unobstructed path i think!

Came to cleeve common to compare my existing 24g xverter with the newly boxed wavelab with db6nt preamp. Very similar results with gb3zme/b , the surprise was hearing gb3bed/b on both with the 18" dish!

Finally got the courage to dismantle my ic-705 and do the Dubus 5V on transmit modification

After failing at 12km on 122GHz with @g8gtz we proved the gear worked with a qso across the road, then Noel found a 2.5km path which worked 2 way The new gear and @g4xat tripod mount now well christened!
