The majestic sight of a loading coil bursting forth in radiant glory, just when the DX station calls you; or the warming glow of the conifer tree branch against the setting sun are things that we should all aspire to ! P.S. Who replied, on about 136.40 kHz, to my CQ call this afternoon (Sunday). I very nearly burnt my ears out trying to decode the callsign through the QRM and QRN ? 73 de Graham, G3XTZ. g3xtz@rgcomms.demon.co.uk
