Hi Dave YMC,
 
I think you will find the problems lies in Adrian's ground system and short  
vertical portion of his wire as do many of these 'weaker' stations. I am  not 
so sure an R1155 is the sort of inhaler one should be using but he seems to  
be happy with it.
 
I have taken to tuning the band low to high and high to low after calling  
CQ. (Where have I heard that before?).
 
There is nothing to be heard from the boys down West, not a rustle in the  
noise even.
 
Apparently I've been heard in Solva so I'll stick to the loaded tee  although 
I had plans to rearrange it and make it a loaded 'L' in an effort to  work 
Adrian.
 
Incidentally how is your set up going? I've not heard you on for a week or  
two maybe more. Any changes to your ground system and vertical to improve  
matters?

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.
