Paul, G0GMY/M, sunday 25 aug.

Post by ON2WAB »

Hi All,

Today I have worked Paul in the following squares but made some false notes I think:

13.26z NY63
13.30z NY72
13.37z NY71
13.48z NT00

I think I wrote down the wrong squares.
This question because it should take Paul a while to go from NY71 to NT00?

73, Peter

I think all the squares that Paul gave were reversed, or at least the
suffix was reversed. In other words Peter you worked Paul in
NY36 then
NY27 then
NY17 then
NT00
If Paul is using an Ordnance Survey GPS it's giving him the northing before the
easting and so he's probably been giving the square 'Cart before the Horse' at
most times so we must let him know as soon as possible. Are you the only one who
has picked it up? Damian M0BKV

Just checked this morning and all squares between 9.30 and 10.30AM were correct so it must have been just a few squares last night from Carlisle over the Scottish border that had the suffix given out the wrong way around. Worth someone checking the rest with a map.

I've been contacted by some members about an activation on Sunday and if it has been confirmed that some of the squares that Paul G0GMY/M (& GM0GMY/M) activated on this day the 25th August need to be amended in members logs from what had been given at the time.

I can confirm that the squares given (and corrected by myself now) while I was on the net from where Paul started on the M6 east of Carlisle was:
13:14Z NY44 (correct); 13:17 NY45; 13:28 NY36; 13:30 NY27; 13:36 NY17.

He may have activated NY18 & NY19 but I didn't work these.

at 13:48z he activated NT00 followed by NT01, NS91, NS92, NS82 & NS83 (when a new net controller took over) all these were correct.

The squares given as NY54, NY63, NY72, NY71, NY81 & NY91 would have been incorrect and need to be changed to those with times above (NY45 to NY19).

I hope this clears up any confusion.

Damian
