Dragonflies

[Firebottle]

I love dragonflies, such majestic creatures and phenomenal flyers.

It must be a good season for them over here as I have counted 20 perching throughout the garden, most of them on a high antenna wire.

This one was the king of the hill, perching on the very top of the highest antenna:

There were 14 on one of the wires, this one was lower down on a bamboo pole:

I haven't seen one for a few years but yes they are amazing insects.. and the fastest flyers apparently!

I'm guessing you're a ham then? Or have you given up the acting?:D I dabble with homebrew gear myself but the licence is too limiting so just the SWL side...

There were loads around last year. Seen none this summer.

Think they are usually west coast. Dont see them here much.

Yes I am a Ham, how can you say the license is too restrictive?

I used to do amateur television including microwaves, I built and operated a 10GHz television repeater for a while.

I can't be doing with Morse code and having to log every conversation in a book....
I designed and built a double conversion 2M receiver not that long ago:) I'll get round to finishing off the VFO's bandpass filter properly some day ...All good clean fun.

I never did morse code. What's a log book :eyebrows:
