Hi,

The Atlantic DX node will be down until further notice, as house maintenance takes place and the EWE antenna is in need of repair which will be done when I get chance to work on it.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
James.

Happy New Year to you too Nigel, yes it has been running on that EWE antenna since early 2006, so it has lasted well! We are making a patio area where the EWE used to be sited, so regrettably it has to go. I just hope I can find room for a new one somewhere else in the garden!

Regards,
James.

Thanks for informing us. It's one of my favourite radios. I was wondering why it was missing :(
Thanks for making the radio available to us. It's been very useful.

Thanks for providing that excellent rig, James. I tried it a few days ago and was surprised by how well it picked up my usual propagation benchmarks.

Best wishes for 2011.

Thanks for the freq tips, Lanta. Utes are very handy for comparing propagation, especially in these no-sunspot conditions.
