Never give up, never surrender. (Think that was from a film or something. )
I'm happy to try as often as anyone wants, Mother Nature is bound to give us a break one day.

Ah b*gger - Completely forgot about this Lads.
My apologies.
40m was noisy and long through the day so not sure if anyone managed to catch each other?
There's always another day.

Champing at the bit here with a possible secondary antenna to try out.
Fingers crossed again for good conditions. (Ain't had them yet!) 20m has been weirdly short today hearing UK stations so have big hopes for 40m tonight so long as the S5 noise I have drops a bit.

Hi Chaps,
40 looking pretty noisy at my end S5, but like Vic says 20 nice and quiet. not a lot of prop on either band at the moment so here's living in hope.

Noise has crept to S7.

M0ZMX - Mark - S8 with some QSB.
No one heard my break then?
Just dropped to the chat box with Al.

Well done all.
I heard all stations worked (even if only through the noise) so my secondary antenna and experimental tuner are working. Did a switch over during proceedings and the new stuff is much better. There's hope yet!

Excellent stuff chaps,
Nice to work you craig 5/7 I think for the first time. Al I could hear you but probably not quite well enough to make contact with todays noise levels.
I've popped our contact on QRZ Craig I hope to get you all in there soon.
Vic, there's always hope, we will have that QSO!!!!
Sunday morning it is then 11am.
