Well, I was pleased to learn that Fred G4SPR (Cumbria) is active
again on 136 kHz!
Ron G6RO had a QSO with Fred on Tuesday evening, exchanging RST
339/599 reports. I heard Ron's side of the QSO on my loop
antenna, but the deep antenna null to the north of me meant that
I had little chance of detecting Fred's signal.
So - what gear are you using, Fred? (I wonder, were you loading
the antenna with that big Proton Magnetometer coil?!)
