@mart_brooks @theregister I did feel comfortable, relaxed and welcome at the , it is true. And my beard is quite luxuriant at the moment.

33 in the log today, 2m only activation, part of the activity day here on the British Isles.
Lots of Scotland covered and some English stations too, good conditions overall!

It was a foggy, windy and frigid day to do radio in the mountains! I got a timely reminder from nature on the descent that sometimes it's not the blue sky but simply a break in the cloud that is Scotland's Majesty!

And yes, that is the scarf getting a mountain outing too!

Following on from the above, I have written up my thoughts on last weekend's @EuroBSDCon trip.

Long story short, I had a great time, really enjoyed speaking, listened to and learned a lot and met lots of interesting people.

By the time I left my brain was melted, but in the best way possible.

Best question I was asked all weekend: "You're Irish, can I take clotted cream home by air?" Sure buddy, go wild.

I hit most of my main talking points, but there is some stuff in my notes I missed. I had a blast and it was a great weekend of pragmatic, technical and interesting conversation! I'm open for chat and can talk about radios alllll day!

When you have been 4 days in Dublin and face recognition only works in 1 out of 2 attempts, when trying to open your iPhone.

Waiting to go to the airport. We weren't able to visit the center of Dublin, but there will be a next time. The Irish are extremely kind, friendly, and pleasant. We will return.
I'm sad that this adventure is over, but in the coming days, I will upload the slides from my presentation, and when the video is published, I'll share the link.
Because 'I solve problems' 😆
