To All,

I too was sorry to hear the news from fellow 'Early Bird', PA0LQ.  Over
the past 4 months, Harry and I have managed at least one LF QSO every
weekend (except for one stormy weekend in May).  Many of these QSOs took
place at about 05:15 UTC, when noise levels were lowest  and long
before most operators had even got out of bed!

During most of this period, Harry's signals into GW (from his 35 m
hanging wire) were about RST 559.  But signals improved to 569 in May
when he ran a wire from his balcony to a lamp-post; and jumped to an
incredible 579 when he used a 65 m wire from the balcony to a tree,
about 45 m away.

I hope that Harry can find an alternative location for his LF radio
station, and thereby continue his experiments.

Regards to all,
Steve GW4ALG
