Botley Hill 2017

 

After Leith Hill G/SE-002 on Saturday 16th December 2017, it was on to Botley Hill G/SE-005.  Since my last visit to Botley Hill, the summit position has changed.  I found where Jimmy M0HGY (the G SOTA Association Manager) had now put it, by a water tower.

Again 20m seemed difficult, but again I managed to qualify.  2m FM was good all day, operating while /M.  That was welcome with all the driving.  I made it to the Circus Tavern ahead of time for soundcheck. A nice curry for tea in Purfleet, and on stage for a good show.

The new summit location on Botley Hill - delightful!        Soundcheck at the Circus Tavern
