G8AJN/P Repeater test card

This was the first picture I picked up. I experienced strong radar interference in that direction, so this was a lucky grab from my DVD recorder between strikes!

(This was my only picture as I was simultaneously taking part in the first restarted "BRS Natter Night" on 2 metres, by David G4BKE.)

28/11/06.
Digital ATV Tests from G8AJN & G8AJN/P at Alderney.
This is what I believe to be the progress so far:

Both Norman (G3UXR) & then John (M1BAI) were the first in this area to successfully receive digital pictures from Dave (G8AJN) at his home, on Porty satellite receivers.
John (G0HAT) had his Porty set up by Dave on 27th November, already for on air testing.
Ian (M0HVO) at Ringwood will probably be the next station ready for tests.

My (G3KTU) progress on 27th November:-

G8AJN digital test card Received 'Strength' & 'Quality'
