Re: Effete Southern version
Do we meet up and sing it through one set "Barbershop", or sing a line each from our own sets? Either way I'm up for it!

Radio Checks?
I thought Channel no. 16 was a perfume.
Incidentally, I have noticed the preponderance of people on the website with photos or logos below their name - a fine looking boat, for example, or a man with a silly hat. If I log on 24/7 and start posting like a Royal Mail sorting office in the run up to Christmas, will I get one too?
Yours etc,

Mobile phone checks
Great idea Claymore, whilst we're about it let's maximise our return on all our comms kit.... I suggest we all do the following - each day as you leave home for work, dial 999 on your mobile phone and say:
"Hello, is that emergency services, can you hear me OK? Ah good, I just wanted to check that my phone works OK today in case I need it for real later. Speak to ya again tomorrow! Thanks. Oh, and you sound nice and clear too! Bye.
Over and Out".

Re: Radio Checks - I CONFESS
I did my first radio check in many years the other week, I was so happy with it I did it again a few minutes later.
What led me to this drastic action was, when on my way down to Dartmouth and chatting to Portland CG, as you do. Letting them know what I was up to and warning other shipping to keep an eye out for me, but to my dismay, they said I was breaking up. So after a quick run around the deck and a peep in the bilge’s, I got on the radio again to let them know that everything appeared to be in order, then they told me that I might have a Radio or Ariel problem. Ah! Says I, all is not lost, I will dig out my emergency Ariel, which I had transferred from my previous boat. Wouldn’t you just know it, the coax connector on the Ariel was different to the one on the radio.
I bought another connector in Dartmouth and fitted it, then checked the main Ariel connector and found a strand of screen was shorting to the core.
There, you all now know, and have my full confession (with mitigating circumstances) I DID TWO RADIO CHECKS.
Maybe there is some hope for me, the checks were not to the CG but to Dartmouth River Control.
I plead for forgiveness.

More effect if you e-mail it to me, of course.

Re: Mobile phone checks
I'll start with this one tomorrow.
Do you think we should be activating epirbs and strobes say once a week just to make sure they are OK?

Re: Mobile phone checks
Abso-bloody-lutely.
And that way the CG Heli crews won't feel left out either 'cos they'll be able to practice scrambles every day several times a day - which almost guarantees that when a real call comes thru' they'll already be in the air which has got to be a bonus - might be a bit stressed and low on fuel tho.
