Chris,
I was wondering what was going for a while !
good signal with me in io82lk, but =f6ci= was just on the edge at
times with qsb .. looks to be about 450 miles from my qth, so
that's possibly in the skip zone , didn't look on the two grabbers ,
often see a good signal at Birmingham that's not showing at my qth
or very well at Gary's and that's only about 80 miles south of
'us'
Looks like these low long wires radiate quite well
at 500 , the high angle seems to help the 'short' skip
?

Yes chaps your ears did not deceive you. Andy is operating on 500 kc/s
today and maybe tomorrow. A call on the band tonight may rouse him.
He
has a 150m long and 20m high aerial but is only running 5 watts output
! Nonetheless he was 579 with me (IO92UB) and a good
solid signal.
He says that he will be back in ON and QRV the weekend
after next.
