RSGB membership !

Well my RSGB membership pack came today and it is well worth the money !

As you can see from the photograph above the welcome pack contains

• RSGB Members hanbook
• RSGB Member certificate
• Sample Issue of RADCOM magazine
• Members Diamond Pin Badge
• Members Book List to which I am now entitled to 15% discount
• RSGB Bookmark

Plus you get loads of other benefits too. I am over the moon. My RADCOM magazine will be sent directly to my house for the next 12 months and that alone should cost more than the membership fee. True value. That is very rare these days.

Band openings

Back to the bands and boy they were lively this morning. On 80 meters and 40 metersAt around 7am I had most of Europe and central America 5/9 and some up to plus 30 which on a half size G5RV at only 5 meters above the ground is amazing ! I did make a couple of contacts but nothing spectacular.

10 Meters has been a bit quiet but I have made plenty of local contacts and some regular ones too.

I don't normally use many other bands apart from 12 meters ocassionaly

I have got a couple of ours before bed tonight so I am off to put the radio on now !
