100km/h down at the beach.

What's to do when it's blowing a 100km/h gale?

Well, a bit of lockdown exercise, coupled with a bit of 24MHz radio.

Not a pleasant day at the coast!

 

The 12m band was not really open to great DX distances for TX whilst I was at the coast, but I did get a good signal across to India, and had fantastic receptions from Indonesia and Australia.  Unfortunately, I couldn't hang around very long to wait for the band to open more.

Still, pretty amazing for an Ampro stick and 10W again!
