Report from Samaritans Cycle Ride 15 May 2016

Thank you to the members that assisted at this annual event. As usual this presented good RF coverage challenges. We also used the Hunstanton control room club call of M0HCR/P for a change which confused everybody!!  In the end we managed to work all but one location directly from control with the Fring location being relayed from Sedgeford. We also used GB3KY for the Park Farm location.

The main issue at the control was S3/4 noise across the 2m band.  At first this was though to be very localised ie from nearby vehicles. But upon further investigation likely to be a mix from the nearby radio tower that is very close by.
