      Glad you liked it! I kid you not, I have been asked more than once when the Monday Night Net is on! I’ve also been asked why I don’t do the Monday Night Net at the weekend. Also, a comment on DA recently about last Wednesday’s Monday Night Net made me double-take! Glad we made you smile, and thanks for listening.

    I’m looking at doing my Foundation Course later part of this year, The two day weekend course is ideal for me, due to the shift work i do i would not be able to do a set day every week etc.

      Thanks Jon. Weekend courses do make a lot of sense for many. Got some great feedback on the net last night, which helps lots. Thanks for that, and good luck with the Foundation.

    I think the weekend course is a better idea,because i beleive that anyone who is intrested in becoming a licensed amature would be studying on their own prior to training weekend, and waiting six weeks before a test could be a little detering, i speak for myself here i have waited quite a few months for a course to open up in canvey as i suffer from anxiety and didnt cope well with the idea of travelling to take the training course earlier further away.
    And the thought of six week course i think i would have a melt down and mess up due to stress

      Thanks Sean. Interesting chat tonight with lots of opinions. I can certainly see the appeal of a short weekend course for many, and having planned weekend Foundation courses in the past, I know how rewarding it is for people to leave with a pass after a weekend session. Hope yours goes well, and hope to work you soon! Pete

    Thames Amateur Radio Group now runs it’s own weekly net on a Wednesday

    It is on GB3DA (Danbury RX=145.725MHz ; TX=145.125MHz ; CTCSS=110.9 ‘H’)

    Weekly start time is 2000. Hope to see you there :)

    Paul C, before you ask a question like that perhaps you should check who are members of other groups, Rob,Pete,Huw and Phil are all Targ members.
    Therefore i put it to you that you are just trying to incite more bad feeling and politics.
    I would like to join a club in the Southend area but don’t like politics.

    Six weeks of evening is the best way for a foundation or intermediate as its not rushed.

      Thanks Geoff, and well said. Let’s try to leave politics out of the hobby (or at least off this website, please!). I’ve only been in amateur radio for a short while, and I’ve already seen a number of strong friendships and affiliations suffer as a result of unnecessary and unproductive politics.

      Cliché I know, but this is only a hobby. As radio is a communication medium, let all try to get along, with the aim of having fun with radio, sharing information, and working together to keep this great hobby alive.

      Hi Sean,.

      I assume you’re the same Sean I’ve been chatting to on another forum. If so, hello again.

      Only just back from work, so I couldn’t join or listen to the TARG net tonight, but Mark M0IEO and Belinda M6JNX are both on Canvey Island, and Tom 2E0TNC is from Tiptree – hopefully that helps you to get a feel for where you’re able to receive signals. The website http://www.qrz.com is quite handy for looking up callsigns to see where they operate from.

      If I recall you’re in the Southend area, and there are some black spots when it comes to reception of GB3DA, the Danbury repeater. A decent rooftop antenna should allow you to work Danbury – or if you’re mobile, a mag-mount will do, but experiment with driving around the area. Westcliff London Road seems to be a dead spot mobile, at least for me.

      Hopefully that’s a help, but if not, feel free to pop into our forum and ask the locals for some advice – http://www.essexham.co.uk/forum

      All the best,

      Pete M0PSX

      Good tip, cheers Sean. I’ve tried a few in Rochford, Southchurch, Belfairs Wood, the seafront and on Canvey. Had planned to get out and about doing more geocaching (my daughter enjoys “treasure hunting” as she calls it, but radio (and the bad weather) keeps getting in the way.
