REDCHEQHEN

Much better than I was this time last year!!!

Goodness me - nice to see you posting on the board again - how are you? (Can't send you a message for some reason)

Race delayed - so no basketing today - Huntingdon 160 miles Raced 32 the last two weeks, but first back home last week had to wait 17 minutes for her cock bird - so he can stay at home this week, as yet undecided though

Redcar - weather very poor - cold, drizzle, fog, visibility only 100 yards

No losses from training or racing with the old birds - so far (2 races to 106 miles) Have lost 1 young bird off the loft though

100% returns with the Up North Combine - 2 weeks running No latebreds raced (or bred for that matter!!)

I didn't win - but I was 4th out of 426 birds with a 2 year old hen velocity 1537ypm - 106 miles - from Newark in 2 hours and 1 minute

Well done all - and well done Andy and Seona

No fog or mist at the home end and good visibility - the forecast was right - except for the race point............!

Especially at this time of the year - living on the coast xc weather has the wind as East ENE or NE - and wall to wall sunshine I live right on the coast - and this wind usually means fog and mist and poor visibility in April (and May and June usually...!!) and NOT wall to wall sunshine Any thoughts anybody?

We'll be going back to T3's before long - there will be no signal 8.00am - 6.00pm from tomorrow until May 1st (so more faff on)

I think there is then a connection from base station to laptop.................to do the result I didn't (and don't) set it up.........

UNIKOM - More trouble than its worth They're a nightmare when they go wrong or when you change laptops (tell me about it.....)

Our club has this printer - anybody know which connection is used ( on the back of the base station) when installing the printer driver? There is a choice of about 10!! SELECT CONNECTION Select the port your printer is connected to COM1 COM2 COM3 COM4 FILE: LPT1 LPT2 LPT3 SHRFAX USB001 XPS Port UNIKON offer no help....! We are assuming that - because it is a parallel port - it will be one of the LPT options - any help anyone? (Parallel port to printer - and parallel port to base station - it will not be connected directly to the laptop)

Belongs to a member in my club - cheers Andy

32 out of 32 (UNC) Winning velocities were 1470's I think I was just waiting on the one after 20 minutes Good race (I'm in Group 6 by the way)

Short reply is no - had to go into the loft and catch the little blighters then scan them losing lots of time - but wouldn't have been anywhere anyway as it happens

West Wind

Up North Combine Bubwith Group 1 - 7.40am Group 2 - 8.00am Group 3 - 8.20am Group 4 - 8.40am Group 5 - 9.00am Group 6 - 9.20am Good Luck All!

A possibility (though not something I do It's run off the mains electric

They are kept in the shed - but will bring them in the house just now and warm them through!! (I'll try anything!)

If I pass birds over the pads - they register (both sensors) despite the system saying '1 sensor OK' But one of the pads has to go under the trap (there is a shelf for pad to sit on) but the sensor pad is not picking up the rings any more through the wooden floor of the trap (it always has done in the past)

Up North Combine and New North Amal both held over

Have 2 sensors - says '1 sensor OK' Swapped them about and both actually work - but for some reason the rings are not registering through the floor of the trap (they have done for the last 4 years - and no alterations have been made) So neither sensor is working in the trap - but they are working when not in the trap - suggestions? (can't take the trap apart....!) PS - Birds away at a race - and its the main roundabout loft that is the problem (hubby is on the transporter....!!)
