Just switched on the radio again and a repeat of yesterday,Silence would be an understatement and not even a distant 1 divisions echo could be heard on LSB. What’s are the bands like in your part of the Uk or beyond because here in London it’s terrible..🥸 Cheers Tom. 26 CT 4029

Hello Tom, radio has been on all day in the background, nothing much heard, to be honest it's very quiet in Hertfordshire.

Heard a couple of french & spanish stations literally one call & they were gone again was around 2.30pm, guess we are at the end of the summer sporadic e season now. of course now i've come out with that we'll probably get something coming through, LoL.

Just listening to the T5 over breakfast and can hear the mandatory ‘Hello Hello Coca Cola’ so at least I can hear 1 division this morning..lol The bands still seem a bit flat to be honest which isn’t a good sign.Who else on here is getting obsessed with A and K index’s and SFI,It’s at 82 for those who care.. Have a great day and hopefully the frequencies with be alive with the sounds of CQ CQ CQ DX when I get home later. Cheers Tom. 26 CT 4029

Been real quiet where I am too on anything over 20m. There are little pockets of skip here and there, just need to have the radio on at the right time to catch them.. something I haven't been very good at doing. Kate CT3591 / CE01 still posting new contact videos up on utube, she's obviously got a sixth sense for when the skips running.

I know what you mean she’s definitely got a sixth sense of something.Like when you go fishing and the other half completely embarrasses you by catching one twice the size.lol Tom. 26 CT 4029

Had a quick listen in between painting the kitchen and wiring wall sockets, could only hear some weak Spanish and Portuguese stations......

Having another whizz through all the 11m bands and it’s basically sod all apart from a distant station on the T5 calling out.Right at the back of the box and hardly understandable. To say conditions are flat would be an understatement.There’s always the muppets..🥸 Let’s see what tomorrow brings it can’t get any worse can it? Cheers Tom on the side on the side..lol 26 CT 4026

Morning all,Switched on the radio this morning with coffee in hand and blow me over there’s human voices.. Mostly on Mid’s AM and high’s 27.445 upwards.Plenty of 14,1,30 and 31 divisions which is great apart from I’m not at home now.By the time I return knowing my luck it will be radio silence again.At least I managed to chat with the lads in Milan on Am as usual ,I bet they thought he’s back again. ( Only joking Joseph as I know he may well read this ) Cheers Tom. 26 CT 4029

Nothing for days on the skip front then BAM. In the last hour 35.Austria,Lanzarote had to top it off 3 AT 282 Brazil,to say I’m chuffed would be an understatement.From zero to hero in 60 minutes. And my QRM has returned but who gives a s**t.Well worth the wait and listening to hours of hisssssss,It’s why we all do it. Cheers Tom. 26 CT 4029
