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

Hi all

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.
