Hi all, hope everyone's ok after the awful weather & gale force winds over the past few days. Managed to hear a few from Italy on Sunday & a guy called Frank from the Baltic coast of Northern Germany. Unfortunately he had a queue of people waiting to talk to him so didn't get a chance myself. Got a brief contact with a nice chap in Sweden so i'm well pleased with how things are going. Take care all & keep safe. Bob.

Roll on the weekend and some more sun would be nice. CT 4029

Thanks for the good wishes guys. if i make one contact a week, i'm a happy guy. I find it so absorbing that i don't know where the time goes & find it really rewarding when i finally do get a hit. Could hear Russia this morning but he couldn't hear me, likewise a guy in Cocoa Beach Florida in his car no less, but again couldn't hear me. I'll persevere & hope the weather improves soon. Cheers, Bob.

You will get the Cocoa beach one day stick at it. It will just happen out of the blue sort of. I will never forget many years ago now 30+ started doing some repairs out in my shack and had the radio on 11 meter band it was. I herd a voice a bit low just calling for a radio check so i answered him. Talking to this guy and i asked where he was he said Anglesey and i said he was a bit low as i live on Anglesey so i asked where on Anglesey and he came back with some funny name ?????. Turned out he was in Anglesey Australia not North Wales like me. Now that was a buzzzz.
