G0EML on UHF, FM Simplex Using an Icom IC2725 Dual Band FM Transceiver.

QSO with Ray in Shrewsbury located in the county of Shropshire (formerly Salop), in central England, close to the Welsh border on UHF 433.450Mhz. He was using an Icom IC706MkII-G, HF / VHF / UHF All Mode Transceiver @ 15 watts output into a quarter wave collinear. His signals to me were 5/9+60db & we were about 50 Miles apart. I had a nice excellent long QSO with Ray, indeed i wish i had shot more video to upload. Ray's main interest is C.W & this take up 95% of his operating & he also has a varied collection of Paddles & Keys. If you hear Ray on the radio please give him a call, as you will have a most interesting conversation with him. Thanks for a great QSO Ray & i hope to work you again soon.

My TX/RX was an Icom IC2725 @ 5 watts output into a Watson W-770HB 2m/70cm Dualbander. My QRA was Axe Edge Moore DX Spot @ 515 Meters / 1690 Feet ASL. Near Thatch Marsh & just under 2 Miles away from the Cat & Fiddle Inn, Macclesfield. Latitude: 53°13'50.32"N, Longitude: 1°57'38.85"W.

Hope you enjoy the video, Regards Dave M0AKB...
