Hi All
I’m WSPRing on MF today for the “LF Day” (I
know it’s not LF, but I’ve still not got a decent tx capability up and running
on LF!)
Cheers
Jim G7NKS
Pat, thank you and stay
strong too!
BTW I expect to be doing
some QRSS3 tests soon on 136kHz again - a first time at this QTH. As I am not
expecting too much with my short baseline earth-electrode "antenna"
but if results are encouraging I may ask others to take a look, but no holding
breath!
I should be back on 472kHz WSPR (5mW ERP) very soon. At the moment 6m
is quite good so I am on that band instead whilst the good conditions last.

Hi Roger,
Just read your mail. No, I am not your kind benefactor but can truly
sympathise. I too, at the age of 70 fell victim(?) to a stroke, probably
resulting from pre-existing medical problems (I have late-diagnosed genetic
haemochromatosis),
I too found people in this community incredibly kind, understanding and
generous. Alan, g3nyk is a former colleague and business partner and has helped
me to keep an interest as have members of various groups within the amateur
radio community.
I trust your stroke was not too debilitating. I have been left with problems in
my right leg. My wife who also had a couple of years before me an ischaemic
event, unfortunately lost the sight of her left eye. We have learned to (sort
of) cope.
What we learned, was that everyone's stroke is different and individual and
only really understood by the individual. Even then there are aspects that are
difficult to explain to others.
Keep strong.

in the last 18 months all wishing me a speedy recovery from my stroke. Thank
you.
Yesterday, in the post, was a small package containing a professional PCB with
a built preamp for 136/472kHz. There wasn't even a postmark on the stamp and no
note inside. Some kind and generous person just posted me this
anonymously. I honestly can't thank you enough. This is so kind. It will definitely get used.
When you see all the hate and cruelty in our world it is easy to think that
most people are unkind. They are not.
My stroke has taught me that there are very very many kind and caring people in
this world. This very kind person did not even want to reveal his identity.
I really really appreciate your kindness. I have posted this in several places
in the hope I'll reach my benefactor. When I am fit again I hope I can be as
kind to someone. This is the true spirit of amateur radio. Thank you.
