Thanks for the info Wolf it is good news with a foot in the door. I think that
info would have escaped our notice. I will monitor the 30kHz because it is the
right time of year for working into EU from here. However you have to be in the
right place at the right time. Its do-able with that power to UK during an "E"
lift anyway. Please keep us posted with who's on if you can.
