Worked M0BMU who had improved his antenna (gave 599, got 589), and G0MRF (559/459) at 45km for my fifth two-way QSO on the band. Transmitted QRSs (4s dots) afterwards. Heard G3XTZ (569) who heard me briefly amongst his local QRM but not for long enough to have a contact. He is 46km away and is the 12th station I have heard on 73kHz. Saturday 15 January Returned to 136kHz band. Bad local noise most of the day between S5 and S9. Heard the usual 599ers: G3OLB, G4GVC, G3YXM, G3AQC, MM0ALM, G3KEV. Also heard: DJ9IE (559); ON6ND (579); ON4ZK (559); G6RO (569). Worked GW4ALG (5 7/8 9 / 589). Sunday 16 January Got up at 0640 but the only activity for an hour was GW4ALG. Excellent signal from CFH (Canada) on 137.0kHz until quite late in the morning: 0645-0800 (S9), 0830 (8/9), 0840 (8), 0845 (7), 0855 (6), 0910 (5), 0925-1020 (4), 1030 inaudible in my S5 local noise. Saw strong QRSs signals from G3YXM and G3XTZ during their transatlantic tests. Heard 599ers: GW4ALG (using his temporary 20m vertical), G3YXM, G3KEV. Also heard: G3YMC (329); DJ9IE (549); GI3PDN (549); G8PX (559) and LX1PD (579 with a big pile up of callers but only one worked). Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT) http://www.dennison.demon.co.uk/activity.htm
