Did you notice that Mr. Igor has returned after several months of absence from CB (50KCB001)? I spoke with him last weekend, and I must say the conversation was extremely polite, without politics or heavy topics, just as it always should be. This weekend, I heard him again with a very strong signal.
Hello Dejan,
Good stuff. Politics are best kept off the radio. You cannot blame citizens of a country for what the ruling powers are doing.

I heard the Americas coming in low this afternoon. 9,2,3 and 6 div... but too low to work with my 20w and a mobile antenna.
I had a great qso with Kenny 163AT011 this afternoon, though. He was static-mobile on Snowdonia.

We have had our first fall of snow this winter, too, Glenn. Nothing like as cold as Finland though. It did get down to -5c today. Always a bit colder than the rest of Britain in the Peak District.

I responded to your call on 555 today Spanish stations are causing a lot of jamming, like 'hola coca cola,' etc...
Skip conditions are very strong with Northern Europe

If nothing else, at least we know that qso is possible...
I'm just looking at the log, and since I got this callsign, I've only had 2 QSOs with a Charlie Tango member. 18/07/2024 -Â 26CT000 08/06/2024 -Â 26CT5093
Unfortunately, Julian (26CT5093) is not so active on the forum.

Hello Glenn,
The lack of daylight sounds grim. The lack of daylight in Britain at this time of the year gets me down. I don't think I could cope with any less. Mind you, it is dark when I go to work and dark when I go home, at this time of the year.
