Loyn Bridge G-462

After sucessfully activating the Castle Stede WW11 Pillbox, CASHOTA Reference G-461 and then packing up as rain stopped play! It was the short and quick route back to the car to set-up for the activation of the 17C Loyn Bridge G-462.

Once back at the car, a quick brew and sandwich was taken and due to the rain still being evident I decided to activate /Static Mobile from the vehicle. Put on the 40M monoband mobile whip on the roofrail of the car and this time activated using the Yaesu FT-900AT from the rear parcel shelf while standing under the vehicle rear harchback door, an excellent roof for activating under.

Again tuned around the 40M band and found stations still on the WAB net with afew new WAB Squares to be had so called in and worked the following stations:

GM4LTJ/M Mike NB55

G0GMY Paul Brighstone Isle of Wight SZ48

G0BFJ John Huddersfield SE11

G0RQL Don Mai Devizes

G7AFM Phil Hereford

G0GDU John Nottingham

G7GBA

M1GRC/M Chris SD90

GM4LTJ/M Mike NB46

GI4FUM David Co Antrim J18

GM4LTJ/M Mike NB45

Equipment used:

Yaesu FT-900AT
AMPRO 40M Monoband Mobile Whip
12V 170AHr Battery
50W Output



All in all a very pleasant activation next to the 17C Loyn Bridge and Medieval Ford. Photographs of the activation can be found on the following websites:
