To All from PA0SE
This morning I started to listen on the 73kHz band at 0700
UTC.
I heard Laurie, G3AQC at RST 569 and Jim, M0BMU at RST 559, both
with CQ.
Jim later announced he would QSY to 72kHz. There I could copy him
no longer because of QRM caused by the modulation of a very strong RTTY-station
at about 73.4kHz; Rugby I presume?
Later Jim went back to about 71.6kHz and announced he would listen
on 136kHz.
We immediately had a very enjoyable crossband QSO.
I found this an appropriate way of congratulating Jim on his highly
original electro-mechanical
SAQ receiver! (May I kindly suggest RSGB send the description of
Jim's receiver to Pat Hawker, G3VA? I also endorse Rik's request for a
photograph; I would like to describe Jim's receiver in my four-monthly
column in VERON's magazine Electron).
It was not the first crossband QSO we had. I worked MOBMU, G3LDO ,
G4GVC, G3YXM and G3GRO crossband in March/April 2000.
73, Dick, PA0SE
