At 1920 last night, I had a successful contact on 72.0kHz with
M0BMU. We exchanged 559 reports at a distance of 11km. The
noise on the band is still very bad (my meter drops from 9 to 1 when
I go from 72 to 70kHz, and from 74 to 76kHz).
This is Jim's first contact on the 73kHz band, and comes soon after
his first QSOs on 136. He is to be congratulated for his early
successes.
This brings my total on 73k to 4 two-way QSOs and 11 stations
heard. Best DX is GD0MRF on QRSs at 400km. Jim was the first
QSO below 100km!! Best CW QSO was G3YXM before noise level
made such contacts impossible.
