Lets just say my entry into the UKSMG Summer Es contest won’t be missed. After spending a few hours putting up antennas and setting up all the equipment in a quiet corner of the mother in laws house last weekend I didn’t get very far. Having had a few easy QSO’s into southern Europe a few days beforehand I had at least some hopes, not high ones but some at least.
Not a single QSO. Not one completed QSO. I could barely hear a station in Paisley and the GB3NGI beacon got weaker and weaker as the weekend went on. I think I’ll have to get a bigger antenna! now how do you go about getting permission for that from your mother in law?
Maybe next year……
