Hello and welcome to my Blog, my name is Chris, a bus driver for First Mendip based in Wells, Somerset. I am Chair and H&S rep for the depot branch of Unite the Union. Married to Fiona, we live in Midsomer Norton near Bath, with Boots the cat. My main hobby is Amateur Radio and I hold the call sign G4KVI. I am the repeater keeper for GB3UB and MB7UB. I have a fascination for the weather and all things to do with nature and science. As a Christian I worship, when shifts allow at St. Nicholas Church in Radstock. These are my observations on my life, both at work and at home.

Weather Station

 For a long while I have only been able to upload my weather data to a few services, and more annoyingly I've been unable to upload to APRS.

However, that's changed and thanks to the Cumulus MX software I am now able to upload to more services and view my station in a much better way.

The data can be viewed in the following places.

Internet Problems solved

 I have had Gfast broadband for some time and always had a problem with my HF signals knocking it out. I found no solution and others have had the same issue again with no resolution. 

Until now. I have just moved to full fibre FTTP, with Lit Fibre and the problem is gone, I also get 500Mb down load so a win win situation.
