[UK-CONTEST] Further to Generators...

[G3SJJ]

Exactly Darren, just the point  I was making. You ask a 160m DXer like 
Bob GU4YOX where his shack is!  I wouldn't fancy a 450m stroll at 0230 
on a sub-zero temp winter morning to get my KL7 QSO!! It's all in the 
planning. When we moved here 21 years ago, the first thing I did was 
claim the bedroom overlooking the garden. Great view of the surrounding 
countryside, can see the antennas ants, easy to check the Cluster to see 
what new countries are around, but not very convenient for multi-op 
which I wasn't considering at the time but am now!   Chris G3SJJ
