Anyone in North or West London want to talk on radio?

Post by radiosification »

I'd like to try to talk someone on the radio. I've called on channel 8 quite a few times today and I guess nobody was monitoring. Is there anyone in the area of North or West London who would like to attempt to talk on the radio on a 446 channel? I also have DMR if anyone would like to try that on one of the DMR 446 channels.

I'm in Heathrow next week if that's any use?

Sure, worth a try. I can hear some UHF communications from Heathrow so might be able to talk with you.

I don't have a ham license so it will have to be on 446. Send me a PM when you are coming and we can arrange it

I am currently in Perivale (glad the fire has been put out) and monitoring CH8 no CTCSS on 446, just a humble UV-3R and a nagyakishishi twig.

Nah, not a sausage, not too sure if I'm in Perivale or Greenford, just near the Hoover building.

That's a shame. Never mind, maybe another time/location

I don't know if UHF is sucking a lemon tonight with atmospherics, or if my 3-R is playing up, as I can't even open GB3LW, which is my primary repeater when I'm in this neck of the woods.

Excellent! I'll turn my radio on at 15:00 and leave it on until around 19:00, channel 8, CTCSS 8.
Give a few calls as you pass through and hopefully I'll hear you.

gave a few CQ calls for "TM members" this morning but no answers

i'll try again tonight on my way north but as the van has no rear windows that will be my worst
direction.

I will listen on the Ham set and TX on my handie
