Maoraigh....We heard your initially call on 119.875 loud and clear as you reported over Loch Awe, after that we seemed to lose contact and you could not hear us....I asked GTYNE to relay and he told me later over the phone that even he who was 4000ft and in your position could hardly make you out.....as I have said in earlier posts below 3000ft to the south of Oban coverage on 119.875 can be poor, that said the fact an aircraft 2000ft above you and only a few miles away could hardly read your transmisions leads me to think your radio/ aerial set up may not be working too well?......that said we did ring Oban and tell them that you would be landing at 1400 after your flight towards Jura......Hope this explanation helps?
