The following stations were worked on 136k. CALL RST SENT RST RX G4GVC 599 599 G3XDV (QRS) O O G3GRO 589 599 G3YXM 599 59+10 9 PA0SE 449 589 G3BDQ 579 59+10 9 G8RW 579 59+15 9 DF3LP (QRS) M O DK8KW (QRS) O 549 OK1FIG (QRS) O O G6NB 569 589 G3YMC 459 599 We were also able to operate on the UK band of 73kHz. This LF frequency with its wavelength of 4.2km is considerably more difficult than 136. As operation in the UK is by a notice of variation, we only able to use, with the permission of the RIS, the call G0MRF. Sunday 07.15 - 07.40. G3LDO 549 sent 549 received 71.7k CW apx 78km 10.30 - 11.00 G3WSC 459 sent 569 received 71.7k CW apx 52km Thanks to Peter and to the members of the Crawley radio club for their hard work in setting up the stations for 73k. Attempts to work / hear Roger G2AJV in Kent unfortunately failed due to the increased QRM on the band. Overall conditions appeared to be better towards the end of the weekend as noise levels reduced on the bands and as the local computers, SMPSU's and thyristor dimmers began to be turned off. Stations worked on QRS were viewed as a multitude of 50Hz products meandered across the screen. My apologies to Marco and those stations we missed. Overall a very satisfying weekend. Vy 73 David
