Pat, thank you and stay strong too!

BTW I expect to be doing some QRSS3 tests soon on 136kHz again - a first
time at this QTH. As I am not expecting too much with my short baseline
earth-electrode "antenna" but if results are encouraging I may ask others
to take a look, but no holding breath!

I should be back on 472kHz WSPR (5mW ERP) very soon. At the moment 6m is
quite good so I am on that band instead whilst the good conditions last.

    Hi Roger,<br>
    <br>
    Just read your mail. No, I am not your kind benefactor but can truly
    sympathise. I too, at the age of 70 fell victim(?) to a stroke,
    probably resulting from pre-existing medical problems (I have
    late-diagnosed genetic haemochromatosis),<br>
    <br>
    I too found people in this community incredibly kind, understanding
    and generous. Alan, g3nyk is a former colleague and business partner
    and has helped me to keep an interest as have members of various
    groups within the amateur radio community.<br>
    <br>
    I trust your stroke was not too debilitating. I have been left with
    problems in my right leg. My wife who also had a couple of years
    before me an ischaemic event, unfortunately lost the sight of her
    left eye. We have learned to (sort of) cope.<br>
    <br>
    What we learned, was that everyone&#39;s stroke is different and
    individual and only really understood by the individual. Even then
    there are aspects that are difficult to explain to others. <br>
    <br>
    Keep strong.<br>

        Yesterday, in the post, was a small package containing a
        professional PCB
        with a built preamp for 136/472kHz. There wasn&#39;t even a postmar=

 is <i>so</i>
        kind. It will definitely get used.<br>
        <br>
        When you see all the hate and cruelty in our world it is easy to
        think that most people are unkind. They are <i>not</i>.
        My stroke has taught me that there are very very many kind and
        caring
        people in this world. This very kind person did not even want to
        reveal
        his identity. <br>
        <br>
        I really really appreciate your kindness. I have posted this in
        several places in the hope I&#39;ll reach my benefactor. When I am
        fit again I hope I can be as kind to someone. This is the true
        spirit of amateur radio. Thank you.<br>
