Re: DX SPOTS VHF/SHF ONLY
Back to the purpose of this thread. TF/G4ODA is on SSB at the moment from IM15qb. Worked at 55 here and causing lots of interest. I'm glad he's got some ES as MS has been hard work. Good luck all. Cheers Tony

Like 2M in a contest. 8 * OH stations including two FM, everything else SSB. 2 * ES. 1 * LA. 1 * TF. All of them very loud. Very happy bunny as there are five new locator squares amongst them. OK1DFC now producing some big bursts on 4M MS! Worked him as well. A good day on 4M. Cheers Tony

Strangely, one of todays new squares on 4M, KP33, I still need on 6M. I'll have to keep a look out for that. It was good to hear Keith, TF/G4ODA, getting so many calls. They put so much effort into giving people rare squares. They're going to be about for a few more weeks, moving around the island from square to square, sharing the time between 4,6 and 2M, using MS and ES, when available. Cheers Tony

Re: DX SPOTS VHF/SHF ONLY
Tony exactly the same here, 8 x OH stations including two FM, some CW 2 x ES. Both CW & SSB 1 x LA. CW & SSB 1 x TF. At first I thought we were too close for TF ES cloud but it came good in the end. Notice how many came out of the woodwork, and some left it too late! It was really good to hear Keith on again, as you say given the fact the the emphasis was going to be on 4m It's great that they worked so many, and Keith/Paul will now be super keen to continue with their 4m activation as I guess last nights results will reinforce their choice of band. If you didn't see it here is a little video I took of the proceedings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5J5B-iSP9Y

Nice surprise tonight. OZ1BEF 59+ on 2M. - 862km. 600W, and 9 ele, at his end. Good to get 59 back with my 150W. Just me and G4KUX, from the look of things. Cheers Tony
