For the weekend it never rains it chucks it down. This is the latest service status for my APRS / APT systems
APRS - currently offline due to damage to the main antenna mast. Looking to be fixed in the new year.
APT - Running on the FT-7800 as a quick fix as the antenna seems to be ok with it

12 Days before Christmas Target
Hey all
Right this is a bit of a fun game on radio i am playing. For every day from today (14/12/2013) till Christmas eve i have got to get at least 1 contact for the day. This can be though any method for example simplex, repeaters or data. The scoring is broken down below:
Non UK call sign 50pt
M6 station - 30pt
2E station - 20pt
M0/G station 10pt
Repeat contacts - 5pt (if they are in the log already)
How ever the exception to the points is if contact is made via a repeater all call signs is worth 10pt.
Rules

Rules
- I may only use my licensed power of 50w.
- I can only use the output of the radio and the gain of the antenna. No linears may be used
- The score will be final as from 23:59:59 on the 24/12/2013. Any QSO past this will be void unless the QSO started before this.
