Just a quick word of thanks to everyone who struggled to hear me..Hi !

Couldn't do the whole period, but what I did [about an hour with a gap]
was great fun.

34 QSO's, and for the record, the setup here is a TS520SE - no
processing and a 444 desk mike - about 80 watts [at 2:1] into probably
the worst 80m antenna in the UK.
A 60 feet long [Ha Ha] wire, it is never higher than 9 feet, and has a
90 degree bend at the halfway point, and tuned [if that is the right
word] against the central heating system.

Some nice strong, clear signals - strongest consistently was G0VQR -
showing quite a lot over S9 on the meter.

See you all in the next one, I hope.
