Maritime Mobile

I'm going away on my narrowboat in a couple of weeks time for a short holiday, up to Chester and back.

I will be taking my "new" radio with me emoticon

I'm going to use the call sign 26FB001/NB and call myself Maritime Mobile, I know its not really maritime, as its inland waterways, but its the closest thing emoticon

Should be fun, I'll be using a 1/4 wave vertical and the SY27 dipole, no linear just the power from the radio and fist mic emoticon
