Whilst flicking round his memories on Sunday he heard G4GVC and LX1PD so we tried a sked and I had a good cross-band QSO. Has anyone else noticed a reduction in the splatter level from Lessay? It would be good if this is a permanent reduction as there are a couple of GJ stations who are interested and may come on if thay can actually hear something! Regarding band conditions... I was around all weekend and signals seemed much as usual except for G3KEV who was VERY strong! I heard DF2PY much weaker than usual and DF0WD was about the same as normal. OH1TN was calling last night but not very strong here, he was called by PA0AWN but I don't think a QSO resulted. I did hear OZ1KMR for the first time on Friday evening but he was in QSO with (I think) OZ5N and I couldn't raise him. _137 signal_. I had the misfortune to be up at 05:30 on Saturday morning. The signal was S9+ and faded down until it was gone by 08:00. Just like topband stateside signals. Good luck in Wales Mike. I may be in Scotland early next week but no 73k I'm afraid, see you on 136! 73, Dave G3YXM. (www.wireless.org.uk)
