This is John G7JTT/P operating from his car, on a high spot near Owslebury (SU550262) SE of Winchester. His pictures were even better earlier when he was beaming directly at me. (The received colour was ok but my off-screen shots come out best in black & white!) Click on picture for link to John's excellent web site.

Here are 2 more recent off-screen pictures taken of John when he was operating from the same site during the Summer Fun 2001 BATC Contest on 10th June. These pictures were received on 23cms, but John was also fully operational on 70, 13 and 3cms.
Giles, G1MFG, of the SCART Club, was also out portable for the whole contest on 70, 23 and 13cms. He was situated on Portisdown Hill near Portsmouth (sorry I haven't pictures).

Here he is showing a check number that each station has to pass successfully to confirm reception.

This is what the terrain in my area looks like: This map was produced by a DOS program called 'Geographic' by Andy Talbot, G4JNT, and modified for ATV users by Roy, G8CKN.
GB3AT, which is located on the SW outskirts of Winchester, is my nearest ATV repeater(on 23cms). The white arrow indicates my QTH, at NGR SZ157912.

Another part of the same program produces a specific path plot, as illustrated below.

This is the path from me to the recently re-sited microwave beacons, like GB3SCS on 13cms, at Bell Hill in Dorset.
