Lower Wyke - Practicing erecting the mast intended for use at the 2010 Halifax Charity Gala. We gathered at Manor House Farm, Lower Wyke, on a wonderfully sunny spring morning 17th April 2010. Peter G0JKW luckily has family connections which allowed us to use this excellent spot for the tests with great take off to the south in particular.
An enjoyable afternoon out visiting Tony G0DLX (left) with Maurice G3MMK (right) and Gary 2E0GSC (not in picture). We helped Tony to raise a new delta loop aerial and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

During the afternoon, a number of distant european stations were worked. A number of locals dropped in - Des G3JWN (SK) (centre), David G6OCD & Michael G1XCC. One enterprizing youngster asked if we might be able to broadcast any of his group's material (Jimmy Hendrix, Led Zeppelin style)!
