R Mal,
Transverter option , now looks to be sorted
, just input the off set frequency and CAT
set's the rig , also added to ROS , now
all need is a qrg for ros on 70 MHz
then can test that .
AM from GI , yes I remember G3SX , use
to tell me , that he could work
GI/EI on AM from Wallasey on 4 mtrs , he
had a home made 4 mtrs AM Tx with 2 x
6146 ...... rsgb torpedo special was
it called ?? , had the 6146 on there side ,
so used to fail due to heater sag ?
and a R220 as the Rx with a
VFO , the R220 was one of the first
with a xtal diode mixer , worked very well , I used one
for a long time , till I picked up a convertor
..70.260 was the liverpool AM net qrg in those
days
I get good signal from the EI
beacon 70.130

No real RX on 4 metres or antenna suitable at present
but I am sure we could make it if I was suitably equipped
I used 4m a lot years ago AM for mobile especially over
in GI. The band was vy popular and used a lot there for mobile.
Old pye vanguard was common.
I have been neglecting other bands for a while and
notice the decline of acty on 137 compared to years ago, and 500 has never
really got going because of restrictions by other EU countries. It might pick
up next year but the opportunity might have been missed.

All the action is on BS. Having found NIL acty on
LF/MF I switched to HF and worked RI1ANF Antartic CW on 24
Mhz first call with only 100W did not even have to bother with the Amp.
There is DX galore on the higher freqs at present.
LF/MF is getting vy repeative at present, the wheel is
being re invented but not as good as the original, getting more
OVAL
The other reflector is being ignored by the
experimenter and enthusastic radio amateur and used mainly by those
interested in Art galleries for abstract paintings

Acty on LF/M nil but other HF band humming with DX,
T8XX strong on 18 Mhz CW plus other dx stns also on 24 Mhz.
