It’s been 84 days since I finished the project. Apart from one night where I got things a bit wrong (I think it was around 119/366, I am now well in to my second year of continuous blogging. Almost three months into it. I must admit some of these last 80 odd days have been difficult. It’s not so much writers block, and it’s definitely not – not wanting to do it. Sometimes a topic for the night just doesn’t come to mind.
Every Thursday night for the last few years – three to four I think it is, it might be less, I do the Isle of Wight Radio Society Thursday Night Net. It’s a radio net run over the IoWRS repeater at Ventor. Built & looked after by one of the club members it’s a lovely piece of kit. Going by the designation GB3IW. It has magnificent reach and that not withstanding the connection to a service called echolink, which allows licensed radio amateurs all over the world to link in and talk to anybody connected to the repeater.
It’s thursdasytoday, as I write this. The net is about 40 minutes to go before the net starts I think I have a topic. sometimes I can get to just as the net is starting before I think of something, and sometimes, it ends up as a “natter night” – anything goes. It doesn’t always have to be radio related. I’ll let you know how tonight’s net goes.
