Did anyone work the VE ???..........................only joking Folks!
The Cluster postings are mostly a DL1SAN benefit this week ....thanks Wolf
for the efforts.

It is certainly rare now to switch on and not hear a signal on 136. After
midnight Fri/Sat. PA0LEG and DJ9IE were pounding away, both audible on the
speaker in 2.5kHz. Saturday morning seemed a little quieter than usual, I
guess the wind effects made some a little cautious. I saw a new QRS call
sign for me at 1403z when G3CCH sent a couple of CQs on 137.66. With a
little bit of a problem....the 1st CQ at 1409 was an 'FQ' on my screen...but
other wise good 'O' copy with my loop NW/SE.
Just caught the end of Dave G3YXM working ??5ODL later on manual CW. I had a
trace on the waterfall but did not have time to tweak the loop direction.
Dash it missed another new one. The signal would be 'O' on QRS even to my
indoor loop.
Sunday
QRS calls from Dave G0MRF (0735z) and DFCW from ON4ZK (0817z), I heard Dave
G3YXM work IK5ZPVat 1026 on manual morse. I could see a good trace from
Valerio on the waterfall but my local noise level just defeated copy here
(More wire ....Graham!!). Hard Luck Derek G3GRO, you were unfortunately
transmitting at the same time as Valerio.

Lawrie G3AQC was testing with a nice DFCW signal in the afternoon and
collected F6NM, Markus, to give him his 1st G station. Markus was 'O' with a
struggle here and I think Lawrie lost him toward the end as he transmit his
final over before Markus had signed. Dont know what Markus locator was. I
tried to move the loop but lost him so I suspect he is in eastern France.
Nice one Lawrie and thanks for another country heard.
