[RTTY] Roundup observations - a bit long!

[Liam liam]

hi
I would like to see a SOSB in the RU.
with high winds 130KPH+ on test day
.
I had to lower my beam so could only use my 7meg
verticals.During winter time here the high winds tend to
wait for test weekends to blow, so i cant fully participate in a
multiband test.
