Hi Tom, LF

At this range (Shetland to Devon - must be approx 650 miles) I'm not 
surprised that you aren't visible in the daytime.

I hope to be active this evening past the onset of darkness conditions, 
which seems to be after 10:30pm local time.

With any luck we might even manage a QSO on straight CW.

I'll just leave the grabber running throughout - so the picture you'll 
see on the web will either be what I'm seeing off air or what the RX 
sees of my own signal while I'm transmitting.

I'm very keen to try a QSO, from all accounts you have quite an 
efficient antenna (unlike my own humble affair) so I should at least 
hear you. 

Regards,
