Will catch up with you at the twin servos on the trip to lostock in May Geoff, i will be away the w'end of the 17th, Debs 50th B'dy weekend in the hunter.

All we need is a key holder for the 10th if one is around.

give the 10th a miss

Given the numbers for the 10th might give it a miss and catch everyone at the Twin servos in may, might set up the scope at home on the 10th and fiddle with the thing over a few drinks (weather permitting).

Sorry Allan, enjoy the 17th.

I probably can not make it on the 17th, intend to go out west to Ilford if weather looks ok.
I can make it on the 10th if anyone still intends to go then, although the weather is not looking that good.

Greg.

Arthur,
I have a key.
And weather permitting, I am going.

Just wish I had listened a bit more carefully (and taken notes) when a wise old owl was telling me how to turn water etc on.

Phone?

Hey Allan how should i contact you to see if u are going? (of course if it is pi@#%$ng down i won't be packing the car)

I will be on channel 8 UHF once i leave home (approx 1500hrs) and will travel to tuggerah, down the expressway and then off on peats ridge road.

Might try and raise you on Ch 8 (simplex, not duplex) there (the only repeater we have on the CC that i think is operational is a Ch 5 Emergency, "out of bounds for general communication type one" at M.Mountain).
