Hello Ray,
No IO93, 95 or 84 then?
Activity in NE England is cr*p - sorry "very low"!
I wasn't out /P as the wx was not forecast to be fine, as it happens it was 
fairly dry and low winds so I could have got out after all.

I'm hoping to get out /P from next month (IO84 preferred), bands I'll be 
most interested in will be 70, 432 and at last 1296!
I'm awaiting a brick from Holland to get some power on 1296 so hopefully 
will have 100 watts, reasonable preamp  and 35 element Tonna, maybe x2 later 
in year. No KST so I'll be calling CQ a lot!

Hopefully catch you on the UKAC's,
Eddie
