London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

A fairly quiet weekend really.
The highlight for me was the QSO between two English stations on 6323 on Friday Night.
XTC and Underground.This is rare.Steve (Underground) said that he had recently QSO'ed with Wizard,
but both agreed it was rare.I think it was Matt (XTC) who said that in the old days sometimes the QSO's
could be more interesting than some of the "Programme Stations".I agree,often it was.
But my memories of regular English QSO's go back to London in the Seventies on Medium Wave.
There were so many Pirate stations back then that you could easily get a QSO on 220 to 230 metres
(1300 to 1360Khz) during the day and 180 to 190 metres (1575 to 1665Khz) at night.Most of these stations
only ran between 10 and 50 watts into a longwire antenna.Good memories!

Lots of weak signals and UNID's this weekend.
Even Tip & Elvis were not as strong as usual,but still with a very good show and good signal.
Besides Tip & Elvis the best signals this weekend came from from Underground,Boomerang,Zodiac & Borderhunter.
