One of the reasons that have probably made it difficult to receive my transmissions is that I haven't been transmitting. I put out an e-mail message on the 18th Feb that I would be transmitting on the morning of the 19th and although I did transmit there was no response of any sort. The cost of power over here in the UK is not cheap, and to run a transmitter through the night takes around 6 to 8kW/hrs. Now, while the government has granted us pensioners an extra £200 for heating costs for the winter months, we still have to be careful if we are not to run up large energy bills. I am quite happy to make transmissions over limited periods of time, where they have the chance of being more effective. If there is interest I will transmit this week (Monday to Friday) from 0530 to 0630 on 135.920 using a dot period that allows the call to be sent within the hour. Anyone interested?
