Hi guys,
Any of you reckon you can reach the Presselis?
I'm gonna be either up the mountains, or at my home (250m asl - north of Carmarthen) on Sunday afternoons.
I've got line of sight past the Gower towards Swansea bay.

not 100% sure but we can give it a try will inbox u sum details btw which radio do you use ?, would be nice to get sum new people involved

You were perfectly readable today from Porth Dan, apart from the FM hiss in the background. Very suprising considering the valley hills between us. Forget repeaters butt, just get an aerial up, that'll make all the difference. And I'm sure John will soon be full scale on the meter with you when he gets his up too!

Will be out on the hills round here on Sunday then.
Got a few radios to try with (Puxing PX777, Puxing PX2R, Intek 5050, Motorola t6222, various Binatones etc......)

Will take a decent antenna with me too
Hope to speak to some of you guys.

Hi all,

Called CQ on channels 3, 8 and 1 between 3.30pm and 5.30pm.

Was calling from the trig point an the highest peak of the Preseli mountains. (500 and a bit meters i think)
Had some kids call back, but channel 3 was taken over by some local farmers on their tractors!

Did well on CB 27/81 tho, chatted to several guys over Swansea way on my little Midland handheld.

Gonna get up there again soon with a wacking great aerial...
