Re: LF: 500 kHz - G4GDR - Please listen

Many thanks Jim and Dave,

I'll QSP comments on to Adrian as he is not on the reflector but phones me occasionally.
He is in fact building a small active receiving loop so should improve his RX capabilities.

This seems a most strange band.
Jim and I have QTH's which are quite close yet he gives G3AQC better reports than I do and I receive G4GDR better than he does - odd !
