Direction Finding
Stories
The Stories listed below give much more of the flavour of Top
Band Direction Finding than you would have got from the heavily
edited RSGB reports from letter years, but as you can see DFing
is fun (of a sort - generally sadomasochistic). Not all events
are as memorable as these anecdotes but the fun is in the taking
part, AND recovering in the pub afterwards, swapping experiences
on how well or badly you have done. However, after a couple of
pints you generally recover quite well....
These stories have been put together by Chris Plummer G8APB
from his lengthy memory and with some badgering Dave Bolton and
Colin Boyce, and is being added to every week, so come back and
read another episode next week. Anyone with thoughts or stories
that should be recorded please send them as a Word document in .doc
or .htm format to Chris QTHR or Email as below. The only stories
currently available are the ones where links work, (obviously).
If you have any comments, enjoy the stories of sado-masochism, or
want to take part in a DF event, please email Chris at plummerc42@hotmail.com
