Thanks for trying to chase me on 2m SSB and CW while I’ve been on my local G/NP summits. I’m not sure if you have been able to hear me at all but I heard you on both SSB and CW yesterday while I was on Sharp Haw G/NP-029. I’m only running 5W from an FT817 with an hourglass antenna which does not have much gain and is not very directional, although I have tried to peak up your signal when you have called.
It was good to work you from the four G/SP summits I did at the end of last week when I was in the Peak District for a couple of days.
Yes there’s been some good ones, mostly that I’ve missed, but an amusing one happened last Sunday. I had just worked Tom MW1EYP/P on GW/NW-053 Moel Gyw and about 30 seconds after he packed up some Italians appeared not 10kc away. I did notice you tried to alert him with a comment on the spots page.
I managed to work 1 on SSB with 50w into the white stick vertical but was easier to move to FT8. I could hear the Croatian stations but nothing on pskreport from that side of the Adriatic but plenty on the Italian side.
I’m hoping there maybe some enhancements on Saturday, but its all luck of the draw. A summit to summit E’s/Tropo would be great, but just as happy with Fred 2 miles away in the valley if it increases SSB usage
