150 mph winds subside.
A significant weather front has moved through causing havoc in Scotland. Fingers crossed for calm weather although snow forecast. We will rebuild station in the morning and be QRV as soon as possible.

Time for 15 Metres.
Robbie (GM0SEI) operating on 21.297MHz. Now joined by Dave (GM6HGF).
Mydel erected.
Mydel up. All aerials erected & Robbie (GM0SEI) on the mic - 28.480MHz with QRM. Finding a clear QRG on 10M difficult?
Progress.
The H422 is up & swaying a lot. SEI sorting equipment now & DEQ now on to the Mydel wire trap aerial. Will be on air very soon.
Christmas tree challenge.
Gale force winds & rain.
Last night was rough with Scotland bearing the brunt of some wild weather. Today will be interesting.

An investigation into the 1921 transatlantic tests.
In celebration of the 90th anniversary, the Crocodile Rock Amateur Radio Group (CRAG) can now share two excellent research papers compiled on behalf of CRAG by Morton Research - thanks AJ.
Both papers covering "The Ardrossan Experiment" are a unique insight of Godley's endeavours to span the Atlantic. Both research papers can be downloaded FREE in PDF format from Morton Research - enjoy..
