From Dave G3YMC G3KEV reports hearing RTTY signals on 137.0kHz. Last winter and the year before I consistently heard CFH around the dawn period at s9++. I have heard nothing now for many months, and

From Dave G3YMC I heard Ron G6RO calling CQ several times last week identifying as using qrp - he was 549, perfect copy, against the 579 I normally copy him. Fortunately my local qrm was off at the t

A new virus W95/Badtrans.B@mm (see http://www.f-prot.com/f-prot/virusinfo/badtrb.html), appears to be spreading fast. I have just received a copy from I believe a reflector subscriber. Point to note
From Dave G3YMC May I also add my congratulations to Laurie and the rest - the screenshots this time leave little doubt to the fact it happened! As Mal says, they show that under the right conditions
