Bondage
Following some of the advise Here, I have started the laborious task of adding RF bonding straps to the landrover in an effort to help ensure maximised RF ground plane rather than for noise RFI noise issues as a 300tdi diesel is quite on that front. 4 out of 20 fitted :D
I'm using the stripped braid form
RG213 coax soldered to earth lugs to make up the straps. Not sure any difference will be noticed, but will not do any harm anyway.
Had a QSO with a Bulgarian station LZ1NK today on 20m band with me trying to be QRP with just using 5watts and got a 5/6 report.
Special Event station LZ131GO
Driving back across country from Western Super Mare I think I was lucky to get a quick 5/9 report from the special event station LZ131G0 who was working a big pile up on 20metres 14.220Mhz.
To commemorate 131st anniversary of the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman yoke by Russia, Balkan Contest Club LZ1KZA (LZ5A) will operate with special event callsign LZ131GO between 1st and 31st of March 2009.
