GRANBY FARM ... off roading.

This site contains affiliate links for which LandyZone may be compensated if you make a purchase.
May as well put the post code on here ... CV36 5DR ... it is Granby Farm at Halford.

With some sat navs this post code may take you into the village next to a pond (it did with me) so if this is the case you need to either go past it if it's on your left or turn around if it's on your right. You need to go down the road until you come to a small 3 way junction on a bend with a farm building on it. Turn left up here, go round a sharp left, over a small bridge and Granby will be on your right. CB channel 24 if stuck or PM me for my mobile number. Funkykipper, Bromsgrove Defender & Abarclay1800 already have it so if you know one of these guys you can get it from them.
Cheers.

Excellent news, have had my fingers crossed all day yesterday and today :D

If there's anyone coming from Hinckley/Nuneaton way that wants to convoy down let me know, otherwise I'll see you all there. Need to re-check the SWR on my CB, but assuming all is well will be on UK24.

I'll PM you my number Andy incase there's any last minute change.
 
Talking of SWR on the cb mine is all new but only manage a red5??
Tried everything but to no avail so if there is anyone going on Sunday who
Knows about CB's I would mind someone checking the set up?
 
I'll bring my SWR meter and have a look if you like.

I wouldn;t use it at that feedback level though until it's fixed. It may wreck the radio. Is it new or 2nd hand?

It's all brand new, and I've never used it, the supplier went through it all on
the phone and couldn't tell me why, apart from he thought the swr was faulty?
 
Could be, but we'll try mine and see how that looks, will rule out any possibility of that then.

Could be the coil needs adjusting, or there could be a bad earth. They're pretty simple things to be fair. Will bring an artificial ground with me too.

Thanks for that if you can sort it I would be well impressed as the two people who have looked at it already (electrical) were baffled.
 
It'll be a ground plane issue probably ... depends where and how you have it mounted. We'll have a look for you on Sunday. Matt, you'll notice that Funkykipper (Matt) is coming from Nuneaton, may be worth a PM. Also ABarclay1800 (Andy) is from up Tamworth way.
Leave it with you :)

Looked on Google Maps, and that post code seems to put you by said pond. A bit of Googleing revealed this P.C - CV36 5DP.

It seems to lead to 'the' Farm House, with the site being a little further up the road on the right (you can see it in satellite mode) just before that bridge you mention.

Would that be it?

That'll be it then Matt ... in that case we'll use your Post Code CV3 5DP if it takes you straight there. The site itself does go all around the farm on both sides of the road but the only ways in are through the farm and then through the gate opposite for the other side.
 
Me and other Matt will be there about 10 I expect. We're meeting outside the Bull's Head pub in Brinklow just after 9am if you want to join us.

Andy, it's CV 36 5dp mate.
