Lough Erne Amateur Radio Show, 13-04-2008
Sorry for lateness......
The 26th Enniskillen Rally took place on the 13 April at the Share Centre, Lisnaskea, Co Fermanagh.
As usual there was a good turnout, both of the GI and EI Amateur populations, with Experimenters as far as Dublin travelling up to the rally. This was my 6th time travelling to Fermanagh for the event which prior to 2007 was held in Enniskillen town itself but for reasons beyond the control of the organisers it was relocated some 13 miles south of the town on the banks of the Lough Erne-Shannon Waterway.
It was an early start for grandad and I who had to travel the 110miles or so, to make it for 12noon opening time.
Purchases were few on the ground, the event becoming more of a social occasion. I did buy two RSGB publications on HF aerials and got another bunch of cards from the bureau, including one from JA7COI (thank you Ichiro!) It was also good to meet up with amateurs I'd only ever spoken to and not actually met, and of course the one's I've met on several occasions.
Chances are we'll head to Fermanagh again next year so watch this space!
