Still here...

Hi folks

I'm still here but unable to get to e-mail currently. My best friend in the entire world sadly passed away on 20th August 2009 - chaos has ensued and I am in the biggest mess you can imagine.

I will hopefully have e-mail access in the next few days.

USA-CA County Hunter

Being over in the UK there is little information about the award programme USA-CA (United States of America Counties Award) so after visiting the website www.countyhunting.com I decided to make a Yahoo Group for posts and pictures... it would be great if people world-wide were to join!


Thanks :)

International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend

This weekend I am on the radio chasing lighthouses/lightships! My local club were unable to get our usual lighthouse this year so instead I am operating from home looking for lighthouses/lightships. Hoping also to get more towards IOTA and DXCC! Please visit the ILLW official site!

It's Airbourne in Eastbourne (ha that rhymes!) again this weekend so we've got planes going over every few minutes... I get a fab view from here while all the "touristy people" get stuck in huge crowds, pay huge amounts of money for a stupidly thin programme/food/drink etc. My fave planes are the fast jets - although I have seen the Red Arrows more times that I care to remember and they get boring after two years of doing the same display.

Updates...

Went to see the Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain last night at the Pavillion Theatre in Worthing. WARNING: THERE IS NO PARKING!!!!! I had seen their clips on YouTube "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" being the best one and it was pretty good!

The concert was okay - they are brilliant at what they do but I found that there were too many 'in jokes' (maybe a musicians thing???) and half the music I'd never heard in the first place. When they did play "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" I found it to be a disappointment as it was nowhere near as good as the YouTube version - I guess they play different versions in different venues??? Was also sat too far away (four rows from the back!) but that was my fault entirely.
