He was on (or close to) the Ropex frequency but as far as I know did not work anybody. Ron called him a few times later in the day when I did not hear him, and I also heard John GVC trying to call him, apparantly with no success. As TF1IT was a solid 579 here (nearly as strong as Ron) I am a little suspicious about whether he was genuine. If he is real, perhaps he needs to work on his receiver. New Years Day started well, with me working Jack G3DQC/2K in Oxford at 0924 for a new one. Neither the first QSO on the band of the year nor the first /2K as Ron had worked him immediately before. Any earlier claimants for the first 136 QSO of the millenium? On Christmas Eve I popped in to see Des M0AYF in Gainsborough and we had a pleasant chat. Des's garden is not much bigger than mine, and he puts out an excellent signal with his 30W (and a GW4ALG transverter). Thanks again Des and hope to hear your signals on the band again soon. Best wishes for the new year Cheers Dave G3YMC dsergeant@iee.org http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/sergeantd
