Its VHF Field Day, I always try and give a few points to nearby competing stations.

UPDATE 03/07/2010

But could not hear any local NFD groups on six, which was a shame, because I managed to work 9A9AA, IZ2DPX, DL4MHA, 9A3KS, AND 2E1IIP, while driving mobile to Gateshead Stadium, and later on 5B4AIF, in Cyprus, while driving to Wansbeck Hospital.

That was with 100w and a TX3 taxi antenna which is a quarter wave on six and a 5/8 on two.

There was a German calling a Canadian station, - Imagine a full blown contest station - imagine winning NFD by working a few US or Canadians on six. Imagine the distance multipliers.

I operate Kite Portable for 160, 80, and 40 Metres. The Kite is a SUPER SLED LIFTER KITE by Spirit of Air bought from GO KITES of West Denton, Newcastle -upon-Tyne. I have various copper wire aerials and thank Alec and Nick for help testing, adjusting and flying the Kites.
