I am sorry that you leave LF but fully understand the reason why.

I still fondly remember my very first QSO on 136 kHz: it was with you on 24 August 1998. It was almost as thrilling as my first QSO as PA0SE in 1951.

Good luck with your writing Peter. I always enjoy your articles in RadCom and Practical Wireless.

I am giving up LF transmitting because of other work in amateur radio.
Some of you may be aware that I write the 'Antennas' column for RadCom and I
need the fold-over mast for other projects.
Also I have been involved in LF transmitting since the early days of 73kHz
and I feel that it is time to move on although I will still be maintaing an
interest on receiving LF signals.

Consequently I will be disposing of my Decca PA and a large Decca loading
coil, pictures of which can be seen on my web page.

Regards,
Peter Dodd, G3LDO
