Hi Mal.

G3XIZ continues to improve his station and has been copied at decent range
on DFCW this weekend. Others, like me, are finding out more and more about
through-the-ground VLF communications and are regularly copying UK and
European stations on 8.97kHz by radiated DX. You've only to look on the news
page of the Sub 9kHz Amateur Radio website to see just how much is going on
on VLF. See https://sites.google.com/site/sub9khz/news

Certainly 10m has been very good lately, with WSPR reports from around the
planet with my 5W (or less) and a small wire halo antenna. 6m and 4m Es DX
is also about to start and I'm hoping for some QRP DX on 4m with my homebrew
transverter. See http://sites.google.com/site/g3xbmqrp/Home/4m_transverter.

In my view it is not either/or but all and more.

Good luck on whichever end of the spectrum you experiment Mal.

73s
Roger G3XBM
