Some Continental stuff coming through here at the moment Glenn so lets hope that's a good sign.
Have yourself a good Midsummer Celebration and I hope you make some great radio contact.

Bit of Continental liveliness coming through around the triple-five here in the UK Glenn.
Let's hope conditions improve because on the face of it we haven't had a huge amount this year. (Hearing the Superbowl and kilowatt 'Hola! Hola!' doesn't really count if you can't make contact.)

Hopefully there will be some action later once I get home.
I had a QSO with a Spanish operator last night on my horizontal dipole pushing only 12w, he had a yagi that pulled me in Once I get a proper antenna up and an amp I should get going.

I had a strong contact into northern France on Saturday on QSY 27.489 as thats as far as i could shift to on the box i was testing at the time, i must put in a 5-10 kc shifter, , we chatted for over 25 minutes with a very strong signal and clarity, I'm still running a horizontal dipole. I heard some calls from Denmark and Sweden in the evening but couldn't break through, propagation was very intermittent. I Hope to catch you 56-CT on frequency soon.

Good propagation today, got multiple contacts from Denmark, Belgium, France, Nederland's and a few in the UK. Shout out to 26CT4217 Dominic and 26CT537 Garry for the great contacts, great to make contact with Charlie Tango members in the 26 division from the 29 division.
