Congratulations, that's another first! Cookstown is about 50km West of Belfast on the opposite side of the big lake (Lough Neag). 73, Dave G3YXM. I just worked Mal, GI3KEV on 136. What is his exact l

I use old toothbrushes! Dave G3YXM. Does anyone know of a source of decent ceramic or glass insulators? The box of nice 'egg' insulators I bought from the local farmer's supply store turned out to be
Dear all. I just have a few last QSLs to send out for the GD exploit. Does anyone have up to date addresses for DJ5BV and DJ5DI? I now have several different addresses and don't know which is right!
