Torres Thank you very much for that. Unfortunately conditions at our end were atrocious and were not helped by the fact that we had to spend quite a lot of time on Saturday afternoon reinstalling the G5RV. This entailed someone climbing a tree and lopping off some branches after an attempt to shoot an arrow over it (with rope attached) had failed. Great fun, but a BIIIIG timewaster. We did however eventually manage 29 contacts ranging from Schenectady to, amongst others, Romania and Hungary. I'm not too sure, but I think we had a VK contact too - I'll try to check tomorrow at the club. To everyone who posted messages of encouragement and offers to listen in, a very big THANK YOU It was much appreciated. We will be participating in the Scouts version "Jamboree on the Air" later in the year so I hope we will be more sucessful then. I'll let you know when I find out the dates. M3WOM
