The numbers have all gone a bit silly, really. Over 2700 QSOs in the log as I write this; 5300 lookups on QRZ.com (If you're checking and you see 7800, remember to knock off 2500 from last year); and literally thousands of individual hits on the camb-hams website. Despite ...

We nearly had a Raynet exercise up here this evening. It was gone 8.00pm and Voi hadn't shown up. We'd all had dinner and his mobile phone wasn't responding (No real surprise, to be frank!). But in the end he finally pitched up around 9.00pm. Voi has had a busy ...

As you may know - I lead a fairly stressful life running my own IT company. Every now and then you get given a day as a present; to make up for the hard work. Today has been one of those days! It started in a quite unpromising way. I ...
