Still on a camping holiday with the family in North East. We went for a walk to Seaham so we could have a play on the beach. I had seen it was a 2fer so I brought the radio.

Hoping conditions were going to better than the previous day but would have to wait and see.

Not sure what you call it, maybe some kind of break water but there was thing sticking out of the beach which I attached the mast too and set out the antenna.

Conditions were still naff so digital only and I had a time limit by how long the kids would be entertained on a beach on a overcast day.  And the answer was about 5 mins before I got the park activated. Oh well, the work was lovely
