[VHFcontesting] Auroral Es Last Night

[n12614 at aol.com]

 Morning Paul,
I have several RSGB books picked up while stationed in Europe in the mid-1980's and later through work visits that I still reread occasionally.  I have a job that often requires me to participate in things that are "PED 0" (no personal electronic devices allowed) and carrying hard copy books are very convenient for "down time".  One of my favorites in the mid-1990's VHF-UHF DX Book which has lots of good, if dated information.  In fact the 2017 digital version of that book even states:
 "As with all older books, the challenge for the reader is to separate the parts that are of lasting value from other parts that have become dated. But we make no apology for the latter; they remain an accurate snapshot of VHF/UHF DXing in its heyday."
And I am old enough to remember some of the times they discussed.

 Some of the information is a bit dated but it is a good book. I have the 
first edition (1991) and second edition (2012). Actually I have two 
copies of the first edition. Why? Not a clue.
