Since February 2019 we've been running a regular weekly FM net, around 1297.5 on Wednesday evenings, from 8:30 to 10pm. We use horizontal polarization, but even running narrow beam antennas, we can usually find a "compromise" set of beam-headings where we can all hear each other. If you hear us, do please call in!
We have four regular net members (G6GVI & G4AQB in Bolton, G4JLG in Worsley and G1CXE/P near Stockport), but everyone is welcome and we've sometimes had as many as a dozen stations on at once. This map shows how far afield we've reached:
