Cheers, Martin and Max.
I gave the car a quick wash instead, Martin. It did the usual, waited for me to finish, then rained on it. Lol.

I don't blame you, Martin. They don't stay clean for long this time of year. I only clean to get the salt off it.

They started chucking salt around in early November, Martin. It easy to get caught out around here, as I am in the very North of Derbyshire, so within five minutes I can be in Staffordshire or Cheshire. If one county has gritted and the other hasn't, the road can be like a skidpan. Cars and lorries in ditches all over the place.

Hopefully it will pick up a bit, Ian. I am hoping to get a bit of radio time in, over the holiday period.

555 is becoming active now.
Edit. Just as soon as I reported, all activity stopped. It lasted about 30 mins.

The euro DX band is opening up right now. Very weak, but maybe it'll improve as the day wears on.
Edit. 09:05 band wide open now. Getting stronger.

Well, looks like that was it. About an hour of good strong signals - all gone now, just like a fart in the wind.

Nothing doing here on the West coast of Ireland for the last few days either. I'm spending the day in the attic working on my Magnetic Loop antenna.
Here's a link to the construction photos for anyone who wants to copy the design. I think there is a place for antennas on the forum, so I'll post the actual photos there.
