Persuaded the XYL and her sister to go walking yesterday, and took the opportunity to excercise the Conterra-inc Radio Harness. We walked up to the top of Suí Finn (Seefin) in the Monavullagh mountains.
I managed to raise EI2IT, EI5JF and M3MEL (Cornwall) on simplex from the cairn on the top, and EI1CN on the SEARG repeater system.
All is quiet on Helvick Head!
The next meeting of Tipperary Amateur Group will be held in the usual venue of Raheen House Hotel in Clonmel at 8pm on the first wednsday of june.All are welcome
We hope everyone had as much fun as TARG members had today in participating in the contest, many thanks to EI2IT, EI3ENB and EI7IG for operating in quite cool conditions at the top of Slievenamban. Good luck to all that participated and Happy Easter!
After several years absence, TARG returned to the top of Slievenamban for the counties contest. Though cold, it was good fun, and to paraphrase the immortal words of Arnie, “We’ll be back”. Many thanks to Jim Ronan for working on getting the Argo 8×8 mountain-worthy.
Hmmm, will this hold?
I can’t find it, lads, Lads?
