Tidied and washed up the dinghy,,Plenty of sand around here.
Gave Tim Phillips a ring to see if he knew of a local HF radio expert.I will call a retired fellow and see if he is available.Just what I hoped ,Darrel? Arrived after lunch.Just the ticket a really pleasant fellow who knew his stuff.
My problem has been with now two HF radios is on the reception side.i have had many people look at it but as yet not solved the problem.
I seem to be able to transmit quite well but cannot recieve other stations messages over the interference noise.Tried Mary at Smithton radio and Hobart tonight with out any luck.
His opinion was there is a lot of interference generated on the boat.We spent a couple of hours going around the with a transistor radio on AM tuned off station .
We ended with every thing except the radio turned off and it was interesting to listen to his opinion.
We could not completely eliminate the source of the noise,but I will keep trying to identify the source.
Called up Trevor to find out what is going on.His sons family is over from SA so he was quite busy.
Stuart called up later to catch up.The kids were tearing around North West bay by the sound of it on a ski biscuit.
Went up town to get a small steak fit dinner along with some tea, they do not seem to have just Bushells any more.Picked one out ,have not tried it yet.
Quite a few boats come and go from the marina,one just came in ,quite dark.No just went out,the coast guard works out of here.
Cooked up dinner and watched Grand designs.seen that episode many times.
For those interested the TV show Gourmet Farmer Afloat airs on SBS Thursday February the 19th at 7.30 I believe.I might be preduced but I think it will be well recieved.
