I have given Adrian calls in the past and he has obviously not heard 
me (and Bracknell to Swindon is not that far). I have also many times 
heard others having QSOs on top of him (G3VTT and G3XAQ were having a 
ragchew on top last night). Adrian is a good 589 signal here.

Maybe he also needs to look at his receiver, as do some others. It 
also shows the pitfalls of being crystal controlled on a narrow band.
