Well, I was pleased to learn that Fred G4SPR (Cumbria) is active again on 136 kHz! Ron G6RO had a QSO with Fred on Tuesday evening, exchanging RST 339/599 reports. I heard Ron's side of the QSO on my loop antenna, but the deep antenna null to the north of me meant that I had little chance of detecting Fred's signal. So - what gear are you using, Fred? (I wonder, were you loading the antenna with that big Proton Magnetometer coil?!) Regards to all, Steve GW4ALG
