Contest Results – Top in UK (again !!)
Really pleased to see I managed top place in the UK again for the CQWW morse code competition back in last November. This is by far my favourite of all ham radio competitions.
Bridlington Gun Club

Shooting is improving
Lovely trip to Bridlington Gun club and the first card submission nudging over the 100pts mark.
A lovely mornings metal detecting
Good to get out again with Wolds Detecting and a great bunch of friends. The field we were on was steeped in history and the opportunity for some lovely finds was high. I managed to find quite a few buttons including a WW2 button from a German uniform (there was an old prisoner of war camp on the field). Best finds were a couple of Livery buttons that I am still attempting to identify – photos below 🙂

Dear Steve, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for…
