Thanks Mark! You must be just in the right place, mid way between GI
and "GZ"!

Struggled at first and was signing with Finbar when QSB brought sigs up.

Actually managed to exchange RST with Ray GI3PDN tonight, after failing
last night. 

Mal a strong signal at the end, as usual!

I'm sure I've done my ear drums some serious damage straining to hear
weak CW under enormous static crashes.


I have a recording of the QSOs too, would be interesting to compare
them.

Conditions have been generally very poor over the last week, with heavy
lightning noise due, it seems, to thunderstorms over Europe. 

Roll on winter. It's been 8C with a biting northerly wind all day, so
it already feels like winter here anyway!

Cheers,

John
