Hi Mal

 

Well you have now!!  Thanx for the email confirmation that I made it up to you.  Broom to Scarborough not bad for my system! Vy psd

 

As for my CWup, I’m still learning the ropes, but it is very pleasing to see so many friendly and helpful types on the band who have been giving me no end of support and guidance as I learn the procedures, (chris jim rik roger dennis pete gary graham gus john p-g and lee to name but a few)

 

A nice friendly band in general.

 

Thanx again for confirmation and helpful suggestions on procedure, I shall add you to my list!

 

With best regards

 

 

Jim

Never heard a G7 on cw before

 

Never had a 557 (tone 7) before

 

Never had a repeative Beacon report before.

 

Never had a report in the past before a QSO started.

 

This appears to me to be a PIRATE are you sure it is who you think it is ?

 

I have not encountered this callsign before.

It was G7NKS - no pirate.

2009/12/6 mal hamilton <g3kevmal@talktalk.net>

Some G7 stn calling me in Beacon  mode giving me 557 report and Loc. Could be a Pirate, unusual procedure.
