I have decided to re-write and re-post the post about my trip to France being cancelled as I think I can cope better with the writing now.
My uncle who got me into Amateur Radio and who I was going to visit for a week at end of March this year died 1 month before I was due to leave.
So my grandparentswent to France to sort out the usual things, and I have had to re-think my holiday time.
I have decided in a kind of memorial to still continue with the contest. But this means quickly moving my shack plans forward.
The main bits to paint are the gloss on the doors and skirting boards, and a few bits to touch up here and there.
Then antenna needs to go up. Finally flooring needs to be laid then Desk, computer and of course Radios moved in.
There is also a strong possibility that I will have access to a contest callsign, but will post full details nearer the time.
