Hi all,
About a year ago I became rather seriously ill (I still am actually) my
antennas
blew down in the gales and I was unable to fix them. So I have not been
active on LF.
Recently with help I fixed the antennas, and burnt the spiders out of the
loading coils.
Last weekend I listened and called for hours on 136/137, but nothing heard,
no replies
to my CQ calls. So I re-tuned to 500kHz, I called many times but again
nothing heard except
for G4JNT's very welcome beacon, which came in at 20 over nine, at least the
equipment
is working!
Where has everyone gone? Have we all worked each other so often that we are
bored? Have
we heard all the possible DX ? Have all the weak signal techniques like Argo
been developed?
Do we now know so much about LF propagation that there is nothing new to be
discovered?
Or are we all now so old and tired that we cannot solder a few components
together or string
up a few bits of wire?
If you are not on 136, or 500 where are you? Where has everyone gone, please
let
me know, perhaps I can come and join you, its certainly lonely down here on
my own.
