Hello and welcome to my Blog, my name is Chris, a bus driver for First West Of England based in Wells, Somerset. I am Chair 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 at St. Nicholas Church in Radstock. These are my observations on my life, both at work and at home.

New Shifts
Started a new shift rota this week. Longer hours (50) but only 5 days a week. Only one week of earlies and most starts are between 0830 and 1000 and finishes between 1900 and 2030. This would have been great had the bike not let me down. I am currently waiting for the bike shop to get back to me and let me know the damage. I assume it to be the clutch return spring that has broken, but we will see. It is a bit strange not having to get up before 0600 but due to the bike problems having to get the bus back and forth so having to get up a liitle earlier than I would hoped. Still gives me time to read a book.

Shack Move (update)
The shack move is still ongoing!! However the weather station is now back on and now outputting data to PWS.
The APRS Station is also back on but still limited voice operations as I cannot get in the loft yet to reroute to 2/70 aerial.

Shack Move
Over the next few days I will be moving the shack back up stairs. I had moved from the top room but it has proved to have been a bad move and we found we had less space. So back we go. This does means the weather station will properly be off for a couple of days.
