September 2024
The disruption as a
result of the riots both to society and the courts died down thank
goodness and we only had to deal with the prosecutions brought by the
police as thy analysed CCTV. That took a little while to sort out.
The students that
Ian has been taking through their amateur radio licensing took their exam
in the early part of the month.
Only one failed, and that was only by a couple of marks and she’ll
retake. The school is deciding how
it wants to take radio forward, if at all. It will really depend on whether a
member of staff is keen. In the
meantime, M1UTC is valid and in place.
We spent a
fantastic week in Cornwall, enjoying good weather in the main and seeing
the sights of other parts. We even
adopted a lobster (named Rushey – we panicked a
bit when we had to name it!) It
was a lovely week in a great cabin and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Tara loves this place and literally
danced round the garden when we arrived.
Even the travel (which is a long way by UK standards) was good
because we travelled on Sunday and avoided traffic. Lots and lots of roadworks,
though, and we wondered why traffic is slowed to 50 for no apparent
reason at all! Ian put the antenna
up again and got lots of excellent
contacts.
