PMR seems to have sprung into life following this corona virus thing. Had some good DX's over here in the NW.
Happy days.

I’m loving a bit of PMR action here in Essex / Kent, having great fun during the lockdown & it’s rekindled my interest in the whole radio hobby...

Conditions for 446 today and tomorrow are very good. Plenty more users now on the air.

Hi Ant.
Not sure there are sadly at the moment,
I am over on the other side of Essex and had a few contacts towards East London, Raleigh and Canvey Island on pmr. I can just hear the Clacton amateur repeater not far from your qth but you will need your foundation license to use this.
