Kite Flying Experiment No. 2

We're back on Durdham Downs

Our Kite Flying forray was great fun. It also seemed to work. As a result we're going to go back to Durdham Down on Saturday 19 November 2011 from about 10:00 to try the second iteration.

Please come along and help out or have a chat. If you're not local try cruising the bands and looking for us under the G4WAW club callsign. We'll probably start out on 40m about 11:00 but there's no fixed plan yet.
