IO73 isnt *just* Anglesey, it also encompasses Snowdon which gets 
activated by the SOTA men fairly often.

Active stns with reasonable V/UHF capability (more than FM to a 
vertical) on Anglesey are John MW0BER who currently has no antennas up 
and Geoff GW4DRR who now mainly uses 80m - and myself who is only QRV at 
weekends.

( who now has moved to IO71 or IO72 not sure)

  (or was it Tony, can't remember the call)

GW4VEQ - who currently has no antennas up at all.


So apart from occasional /P excursions its unlikely that IO73 is going 
to appear in mid week UKAC events.
