March 18th, 2007
It was a snowy
winter day in Manchester UK, with near freezing daytime
temperatures, when our International Liaison, Graham,
G4HFG,
went to meet up with Henry Westlake at the Blackpool Amateur Radio
Rally. He was on yet another quest for the elusive RG214 cable that
is needed for the Duplexers that were undergoing a
"Re-Harnessing and tune for the" 147.210, N4GUS,
repeater located in "Sunny Florida".
A gusting wind was
pushing the Irish Sea onto his seaside route, parts of it were
even closed for a while as it was underwater. Braving the gusts of
wind, enduring spilt coffee and fighting to keep his car on the road
he still would not let this stop him from going for the "Goods".
Upon admission to
this annual event Graham walked up to Henry and give his name, Henry
had the cable put aside for him and the transaction took place. His
goal was achieved! The next part is the delivery to the Site in
Florida. Now to see if Ian will courier the cable in April. If not,
he will transport the cable himself in a few months.
During this
excursion they would venture past Blackpool to Fleetwood for a bit
of outlet shopping, with Carol & Edith, as well before returning to
Oldham. This arduous drive through the "Icy Hell", that it was on
this day, all for the sake of ARRG.US is greatly appreciated. "Above
and Beyond" his duties, all while protecting the maidens that
accompanied him.
Respectfully
submitted.
