Hi Mal,
  Thanks for our CW QSO this morning - my first on the new band.

Completed the TX the night before but at the moment I am restricted to using 
a very poor temporary long wire antenna which is 130ft long but is only 6ft 
above the ground at the feed point at the house end and gradually slopes up 
through the trees to the support on the 45ft mast at the far end of the 
garden - hence the weak signal.!  I was running 8W into the antenna.
   My 60ft crank-up mast at the house end is temporarily out of action due 
to a problem with the steel luffing wire and is currently lying horizonta 
pending replacing the winch and stranded steel wirel!    I should be able to 
put out a better signal when I can get the mast back in operation and use 
the top loaded 50ft vertical wire again.

73,  de  Derek Atter G3GRO  IO91VC
