I used to have a similar antenna in Whitstable, years ago. Regularly spoke across to the Netherlands, including the Rotterdam repeater (x-polarised to their RX). Little activity in my part of the UK then. Now I have SSB capability, I don’t have the antenna! Just a vertical. Just love new housing!

I gave ChatGPT 4.o a photograph of me sitting & asked it to make a drawing from that, sitting at a desk, with a transceiver on top. It doesn’t look like me (not a problem) but AI’s idea of a transceiver made me chuckle. Still, what do you expect for 6 seconds work? πŸ˜‚

Ah, that’s a good point! Silly me. Still, sounds very interesting. Will search out some links. Thanks.

Are there many using 439MHz in your area? I think there might be one or two near here. Everyone else is on 868MHz in this area. Growing by the week. Interested in your experiences.

Found a radio at Stanmer House today. I wonder if it covers D-Star, C4FM or DMR modes?
