Until you’ve experienced the thrill
of working EU Dx on MF, LF and VLF then you haven’t lived. Actually
for VLF, working anyone is a rush!! Lol! Bless poor old Tony. Never mind.
WSPR we love you! Oh and Opera too

even less occasional VLF’er)
I have
to say I was very disappointed by that comment but assumed he had no experience
below 3.6mhz like the majority of Hams. I am a annual subscriber to Practical
Wireless which after all is the only counter weight to RADCOMIC the Martin
Lynch and Sons catalogue or the PIC monthly as I call it. Schematics
with a big blank square in the middle with no construction details of what the
hell it is or forgive me Hex Code. Plus lots of generic schematics with no component
details. Long boring articles by people who should know better. So you pays
your money and takes your choice of Ham Radio comics.
Even so
I think PW needs a good talking to and to get a retraction or at
least print the case for MF/LF/VLF.
