Tony Dixon G4CJC

Last Saturday Andy, M0HLT, worked N4YDU 4/8-5/9, UR9MC5/8-5/9, WB2DKH 5/7-5/7-QSB, and AB2KC 5/9-5/7-QSB. What he says is,
“Very strong signals today on 28, although some very deep QSB at times. I was up on 28545khz calling CQ, and of course these stations tuned "up" and found me, It made a nice change to have a proper QSO lasting several minutes, and not seconds! the two "2" calls wanted to chat longer, but the QSB ended that! WX we've had a very foggy week all week down here. 73”
Thanks for the info Andy. The WX here has been dry and warm. In fact there are strong indications that we are reaching drought conditions!!

Ian, MM0IMC, (that callsign looks like a very large Roman numeral) worked a few on Sunday. WK3N/AAW 5/7, K8CW 5/7, WB8VWO 5/3 and also heard CW5Z 5/2. He says,
“Nice opening on 10m, despite the low SFI. Intercontinental DX is still possible!”

Richard, G3USB, came straight back with an answer to my query.
“In answer to your question: I am the original holder of the call sign G3USB but have been completely inactive in Amateur Radio since 1978. I re-applied and obtained my licence back in January this year and have become active again now that I am retired.”
Congratulations on the retirement, if you’re anything like me you’ll find there still isn’t enough time to do all the things you want to do. A lot of my time is spent flying round the world visiting my kids and grand kids or charging up motorways supporting Stoke City.

Just a quick reminder that to get into the latest edition your reports should aim to reach me by 12:00 UTC on Wednesday.
