I was listening to Colin and G3DXZ here in Bracknell. A short 
recording of G3DXZ has been added to my list of recordings at 
http://my.opera.com/davews/blog/ - according to QRZ.COM he is in 
Retford, Notts. Good 579 or so here between the static crashes.

The QSO was broken up when G4GDR started calling CQ right on top, 
obviously oblivious to the other two.

Was going to call but the static was coming up - right now we have 
one of those torrential downpours...
