Site Problems

I’m Sorry.

Been trying to sort the site out as best I can, but while it works on the temporary site, for some reason it stopped on the place it’s normally hosted, and I can’t figure out why.

The Database is hosted elsewhere and was working perfectly well until recently. I suspect it’s possibly an upgrade somewhere that has broken stuff on sites I run, but I fixed them with 2 lines of additional code.

Warg.info is hosted on box that isn’t Linux and I suspect that this is why the same code isn’t working (although I’ve left it in place).

We are working still to figure out the solution, but as yet hasn’t happened and I’ve put a temporary solution in place for now.

Fun cube Talk by David G0MRF

What a fantastic talk tonight. One of the most interesting talks I have ever attended at any radio club. Makes such a difference when the speaker is personally involved in the project he is talking about. Full of interactive displays including live telemetry from the satellite, as well as great humour, fun was had by all. Thanks David.

We’re very pleased to be actively supported by our national Society the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) and where able to show the public what amateur radio is all about.
