Peter,

Thanks for the info. I was a late starter on 500 after much thinking
about the likelyhood of it being useable from this range.

ALso -  I wasn't really sure whether to get going on the band in
mid-summer - especially from this northern latitude, where it doesn't
actually get dark in May, June & July. 

Things are starting to improve, and I thought I'd at least use these
few weeks of "summer" to work on an antenna of sorts and try to work a
few stations.

I look forward to working you when you come back on the band

Regards,

John
