Yes I know Tom, called both of them many times and no response... The 
other night Chris G3XIZ told Adrian I had called him and put it over 
to me - then Adrian doubled with my transmission. Rather strange when 
I can have solid chats with Chris yet others hear not a trace...

There was a touch of this effect last night Tom in the 80m Club 
Challenge contest. Before we worked I had called you several times up 
and down the band with no response. At one time there was quite a 
pilup calling you which you obviously weren't hearing. Did you have 
thunder static down there?

Can't hear Finbar at the moment down in Bracknell, guess its a bit 
far for daylight.
