Dont forget we had a recent QSO when I was over in Tyrone/GI3KEV. I had the station on air for 3 weeks and only heard/worked about 3 stations. Big change from a couple of years ago, then it was pileups galore. I also work HF when over there and that has never changed. When I fire up especially on CW I find it difficult to get away because of the demand for Tyrone/Ireland for the different certificates and awards being collected. I usually work about 50 one after the other dx fashion then have a break to let the KEY cool down !!!!! I could do with a QSL manager, especially if I move over there. The LF rig here is fully operational, but I have worked everybody a dozen times over and am waiting for some new countries to emerge and Uncle Sam to fire up!! 73 de Mal/G3KEV > > Cheers, Jim Moritz > 73 de M0BMU > >
