From Dave G3YMC
I also heard TF1IT at several times on New Year's Day. He was on (or close to)
the Ropex frequency but as far as I know did not work anybody. Ron called him
a few times later in the day when I did not hear him, and I also heard John GVC
trying to call him, apparantly with no success.
As TF1IT was a solid 579 here (nearly as strong as Ron) I am a little
suspicious about whether he was genuine. If he is real, perhaps he needs to
work on his receiver.
New Years Day started well, with me working Jack G3DQC/2K in Oxford at 0924 for
a new one. Neither the first QSO on the band of the year nor the first /2K as
Ron had worked him immediately before. Any earlier claimants for the first 136
QSO of the millenium?
On Christmas Eve I popped in to see Des M0AYF in Gainsborough and we had a
pleasant chat. Des's garden is not much bigger than mine, and he puts out an
excellent signal with his 30W (and a GW4ALG transverter). Thanks again Des and
hope to hear your signals on the band again soon.
Best wishes for the new year
Cheers Dave G3YMC
