11M in Finland is very active, most of the EU very strong, even FM Muppets are strong on FM, seem to be from North East coast of UK.

Day off and some radio time between gardening and other DIY proved worth while with a few contacts into Romania,Canada,Jamaica and Usa...I worked 2ct552 Alan but didn't ask if he was a member but looking thru the members list i see he isnt...
Mobile set up doing well so far....73

Great to hear you getting some radio time in Sam and well done with the contacts.
(I have no idea whatsoever why anyone would use a made up CT call sign when they are so readily available?!?)

The band was in great shape today. Despite the wind and rain I managed to lash my good old Anton up beside the car.
I had some great contacts and added to my 'Winter Challenge score. Not loads of contacts, but the QSOs were lengthy and nice. This is why I still enjoy cb after all these years.
Good dx and 73s all.

I got home a few hours ago and while parked on my driveway i flicked down from T5 and stopped on .405 usb listening to stateside at s9+,it wasn't till i called in and got a return i realised Bill was using a vertical 827 from California...
It's been sometime since i made a vertical to vertical contact to the West coast....he was using 1.5kw but my measily 100w was giving him 7 to 9...
Just when you feel a bit flat a simple chat to a random stranger thousands of miles away can lift your mood...that and my wife had made a hot pot,mmmm my favourite..
