27SM446 Made contact with Simmi 27SM446 this evening on 27.490 at 19:40, poor propagation and difficult contact but excahnged call signs and names. New he was portable but didnt realise he was maritime mobile!! A first for me 27 Div......quite pleased!
Heard the 101 station with him, in the North Sea aboard a fishing vessel carrying herring back to 27 div, excellent and one for the log Never managed to get back to him though from here.
Re: 27SM446 Cheers Dave.......yeah really pleased with that one .......when you say you heard the 101 with him are you refering to his calls to me or was there another station with him?

Good to see you all getting a contact with him.
Re: 27SM446 You think my antennas are big you should see what he sticks on his boat! he drags a copper plate behind him as an aquatic earthing plate, he's the man in maritime mobile.
