Mike is located near St. Davids in West > Wales. Congratulations on providing another 'first', John. When I spoke to Mike GW4HXO on the 'phone about 3 weeks ago, he said that he was getting close to making his first LF QSO . . . . and I thought of you immediately! Another GW station getting QRV is Stu GW3XYW (near Swansea) who has operated in the past using a good-sized loop, making CW QSOs on 136 kHz into Europe with ease. He also worked Finbar for the first EI/GW QSO. Stu has recently re-configured his antenna in the form of an inverted L - about 210 ft long and 35 ft high. TX power is about 400 W. I think that the good antennas in use at these stations should make it possible for more LF operators to work their first GW on 136 kHz. Regards to all, Steve GW4ALG
