hah!... well when i've got my license sorted (in hand), and my radio installed, then we can chat away with the rest of the armada in blissfull ignorance.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I quite like 2182 khz myself. The good folks of Oostende Radio seem positively happy to get a radio check call from off Landguard!

You should do it more often - keeps them in business. There's been talk of downsizing/abolishing the HF watch.
And they're one of the last (if not the last) stations still around listening on HF in our neck of the woods.
I regret to report that Sirenia will not make the Oostend gathering this year.
We expect to wet her bottom at Levington over the whit weekend and spend the week aboard, but I want to be sure that all systems are sound before a long sea crossing.
Hope you all have a good time over there and we shall see you all later in the year.

Much Regret Unable. Was intending to be there but due to a lack of boat have now given up the holiday to allow my Business Partner a bit of time off too!
Was drinking Duval in London's China Town on Sat night. As a lightweight not sure my liver could cope with a session though!

Is the HM hoping for a little present this year?

At the end of last season I was informed 'to cut it out' /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif as he now had enough tea to see him through a war or two.
I may be wrong, but I believe I clould hear him muttering something that sounded like 'thank you' /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Anyway, should you want to bring a gift, I've been told you can't find 'proper' bacon in Belgium /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Indeed, 'proper' bacon may exist, but impossible to find in shops. The "bacon" we get is so filled with water that it simmers rather than fries. If Robert likes "proper" bacon, he might also appreciate real sausages?
This may sound daft, but am sad that we won't be able to make Oostende, cos we'll be in the Ionian. Guess you can't have your craic and eat it.
Onia planning to do the trip early 23rd - but much dependent on the weather. We made it 3 or was it 4 years ago ! ! We are then planning on Breskens, middleburg and back via roompotsluis at the end of the week.
