There is a list on the CASA website under "Aircraft registration" which lists all aircraft for which they have not received the paperwork to transfer to Part 47 status. Maybe this is the place to look. There are a number of gliding clubs with guernseys in this list. There is at least one I know

Thanks John Parncutt, John Ashford and Ian. Your help is much appreciated. John A, I would like to take up your offer of SWR meter when you return from the desert. Ian, my glider is ASW20C. No prangs. But there was damage some time ago from mice eating into total energy tubes in the fin.

The first thing I would check is your antenna and associated cabling, it may be that it is not tuned properly. A poor VSWR (Voltage standing wave ratio) will reflect power back into your transmitter and reduce its efficiency and if bad enough can damage your transmitter. If you can beg borro
