Hi Mal, LF,

FB your comments regarding the FT-847 etc, I noticed from previous mails 
that you use a UC/1, I hear they are very good.

Regarding aerials, I understand that there is no substitute for full size 
resonant hardware but due to my small garden I have to make the best of the 
space & keep on the right side of XYL & neighbours. So the vertical for 
Tx/Rx on 136 & 500 KHz tuned at the base & the mini-whip for all other VLF 
to MF Rx options.

Also being in the middle of a dense housing estate the noise level does rise 
& fall sometimes to dramatically high levels & then to dramatically quiet 
levels but generally mid-way. Of course at the moment there is lots of noise 
generation with the large amount of Xmas lighting displays including my own 
!!

May I take this opportunity to wish you & all who contribute & read the LF 
mail

A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS

All My Best Wishes

73
