Love the FM Mid block,I’ve had some fantastic DX on here and today was no different.But can get a little busy at times and you do get a bit of bleed over from SSB. Today on Fm Mids I’ve contacted Lisbon 1384 miles,329 KP 133,1307 miles.Many 13,1,30 and 21 Divisions.As I listen now the band is still buzzing with activity and was last night to well past midnight,I haven’t even switched over to SSB. Cheers Tom. 26 CT 4029

Nice going Mike, many a good contact can be had with straight forward FM. (You're not fighting through all the QRM like the old days. )
Keep at it and enjoy the conditions whilst they prevail.
All the best, Victor

Had a nice contact down to Braintree in Essex last night on UKFM using my CRT Xenon with inverted vee in my loft using 15 watts.
