Yes it is worrying - there used to be a G3 station somewhere up near
Scarborough with quite a good LF signal, but I haven't heard him in ages.
I
wonder what could have happened to him?
Do you miss me Jim ? If you give up on LF that would be the end for
England. I think you are the only one left flying the flag.
Dont forget we had a recent QSO when I was over in Tyrone/GI3KEV. I had the
station on air for 3 weeks and only heard/worked about 3 stations. Big
change from a couple of years ago, then it was pileups galore.
I also work HF when over there and that has never changed. When I fire up
especially on CW I find it difficult to get away because of the demand for
Tyrone/Ireland for the different certificates and awards being collected. I
usually work about 50 one after the other dx fashion then have a break to
let the KEY cool down !!!!! I could do with a QSL manager, especially if I
move over there.
The LF rig here is fully operational, but I have worked everybody a dozen
times over and am waiting for some new countries to emerge and Uncle Sam to
fire up!!
