Hi Dennis

Good luck with your 500Kc/s NoV application. I look forward to wo= rking you on the band shortly. It is rather sparsely populated at the moment= although Chris XIZ manages to conjure up loads of contacts.

I wonder how many 500kc/s NoVs have been issued this year ?

As a very new member of the group, still aw= aiting my NOV to transmit on 500 kHz and struggling with my morse, I hesitat= e to take issue with the big boys, but here goes.   
 
Sneers against the new 'Radcom' editor and=20= the comic, which I take to mean 'Practical Wireless' and its associated publ= ications are unworthy.   When I joined the RSGB three years ago, I= was initially disappointed with 'Radcom' which seem to have limited content= and lacked style.   Under the new editor, the style has improved=20= enormously and the contents are generally well balanced.   Of cour= se, many of us we would like to see more constructional items and news of&nb= sp;exciting research, but as G3WKL pointed out, this depends on those active= ly involved producing the necessary articles. 
&= nbsp;
G3LDO hesitated to write up his experiences= as old hat, but as a newcomer, I would have welcomed his article, as I appe= ar to be struggling along similar lines.  While we wait for a clever am= ateur to come up with a super 600m band antenna three feet long, nailed= to the end of the shack and capable of world wide DX, those of us with 10m=20= square gardens or less must contiue with solutions similar to Peter's.
 
As far as PW is concerned, it has kept goin= g over the years and won many friends, including myself.   From th= e earliest days to the present time it has been one of the few win= dows on the world of amateur radio, raising interest in old and young, somet= hing we still surely need.
 
Phew! I fell better to have got that off my= chest.
