Hi there, this is my Ham club's recently arranged Wednesday night net on GB3DI, just finishing up and signing off. I managed to copy them from 14 miles away as it happens (I had guessed 20 miles during the recording of another video). I was using my Baofeng GT3 MKII transceiver which at about 35 quid is such good value for money. It was coupled to a colinear antenna that was built for me by a very nice chap who actually works for me - and happens to be a radio ham himself G1ZMA. A top bloke. My QTH is a bit too far away to participate in the conversation, but I might try to have another go tonight with the same antenna set a little higher off the ground.

More on this to come, along with a recording of most of my second-ever QSO lol.
