March 2008 update

Things have been very quiet with me over the last few months, it seems like a long time since I last had the radio on. This week I have finally found the time to set up both the home/base and mobile rigs ready for the coming season.

For home/base operations I am still using the same equipment as last year, the Ranger 2950DX and Superstar 3900. I got my hands on a Magnum 257 at the end of last year so I intend using this as my main mobile rig, it's size and power output make it ideal for mobile work.

Anyway with propagation now improving I hope to get out on the hill in the coming weeks, I will let you know how things go.

Lets hope for some nice conditions over the next year.

Another DX Super Sunday

Another DX Super Sunday has been planned, this time it will take place on September 30th. Conditions on the 11 meter band have been poor for the last few weeks and I fear these very flat conditions will continue over the coming months, lets hope not.

There has been some talk giving the AM mode a try for a change. If prop is poor on the day then I will certainly be giving a few calls out on AM, will make a nice change if nothing else.

I have not been updating the blog as often as I should, mainly because there has been little too report. I will report on how the DX Sunday, lets hope we all make some good contacts.

Until next time
