Hello Pete

I am not surprised that you are not getting many reports on your daytime mf 
transmssions as neither do I, but still get reports from Chas G3DXZ 
(Retford) every Sunday morning, and had similar reports from Northern 
Ireland (weeks ago).   The fact is that there as been little activity on mf, 
as with most bands except contest times.   Why not join us Sunday morning (9 
to 1030 local)?  Chris G3XIZ has advertised our net in Sprat and a regular 
net is one way of keeping the band open with the hope that the more often 
the band is used, the more popular it might get.   Chris often gets an EU 
contact late evenings, but I have to reserve that time for my wife.   Chris 
said he has seen you on the Sheffield grabber in the past.   Things should 
look up in the winter with the longer hours of darkness.

Incidently, on mf I am still running 20 watts into a 40m inverted 'V' dipole 
(24ft high) with 50ohm twin feeder (loudspeaker figure of 8 wire), 
connected as a 'T' aerial with the usual mf inductometer in series in the 
shack of course.   I can tune the ae as a dipole on most bands with my 'T' 
match ATU and as a 'T' aerial with ittle extra inductance for TB.   Not the 
most efficient arrangment but running only 5watts QRP, it gets me out 
without too much trouble.   My Wellbrook RX loop works much better since I 
elevated it 8ft away from all the garden clutter, and the RX mini-whip 20 ft 
high serves a turn also

PS:  Some of those long dashes may be mine as I have been trying to prevent 
mf getting into my PC.
