Season's greetings to all,

I have had permission from= the UK=20 Meteorological Office to transmit VLF from 27th December to 3rd=20 January.
I shall be transmitting at odd times between these dates= and=20 will give more specific details via the reflector.

Location:=A0= IO=20 92 UB
Freq:=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 8.9719=20 kHz
Mode:=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 QRSS (using variable=20 speeds)
Power:=A0=A0=A0=A0 50 watts=20 RF
Aerial:=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 40m end fed inverted 'L' ,=20 height 10m


I have increased power and plan on occasion (wea= ther=20 dependent) to use a captive balloon aerial, height about 50m.

M= y best=20 'DX' to date is Dennis M0JXM at 1.5 km; many thanks Dennis.
Pete=20 M0FMT has made considerable efforts to receive my signals, even drivin= g=20 around in his car with a laptop PC but so far
results have been le= ss=20 than spectacular.
Knowing Pete he will not be disheartened.

= Roger=20 G3XBM and Jim G7NKS have also been trying to receive me, and themselve= s=20 transmitting on VLF.
I believe that they will both be QRV over the= Xmas=20 break.
Locally, Nick G4IKZ is making considerable efforts to receiv= e=20 me.

Many thanks for the encouragement and advice from reflector= =20 members; this is always welcome.
Let's hope that I manage to ge= t some=20 more reports (and a few more km) before long.
