Well I’ve be in Sydney, Australia for the past 3 weeks. Warm yes, but the rain and wind at times was horrendous. We visited Kevin, VK4UH, and Judy in Brisbane and a good time was had. Kev has an amazing amount of space for antennas, radio and a workshop.
That’s me on the left and Kev on the right.
The past week has been pretty drab on 10m, like most previous weeks for a while. Pick of the bunch probably 5I5TT (Tanzania), FY5HB (French Guiana), TZ4AM (Mali) and EG8URT (Canary Is)
