If we can fill some seats in my motor, I am up for this on Sat with Aberdeen. My preferred Aberdeen dep/arr times would be around 9am/6-7pm. (2 hrs travel time to Burghead) We will likely leave from Aberdeen university at 9ish, getting there about 11ish, setting up and radioing for a few hours and then having dinner or something and coming back down the road later. I thiink at this point the free spaces in my car are now booked, but if you would like to come play, post up here and we'll try to get another car involved so that 4 can come! I have my Corsa and (assuming it won't ruin anyones party) will aim to 1) explore WSPR to the US with a Raspberry PI and a wire to see if that crazy shit is actually real; and/or 2) pickup up some more weather sat images (3x 10 minute passes at 12noon, 1340 and 1500). The latter can happen anywhere o/c but I thought it might be fun to hack up a simple DIY APT antenna [2] with minimal tools and stuff I can find in situ. Thats 2-3 spaces if anyone needs a lift there and back. I guess it would help with fuel also.

I got a new dipole center and three wire sets for it that I have not yet had the chance for to tune up or try out. In which of the cars would I be able to get a seat (and some equipment space I suppose)? I'm thinking of brining my HF radio, battery, tuner, wires, tent pegs, rope. And for comfort possibly a folding chair and a thermos filled with tea. The magnetic loop and laptop don't need to come along. If you want to improve your NOAA signal reception Ed, feel free to take the tapemeasure yagi that's in the space on the trip.
