Good afternoon Peter. I enjoyed your Ham Radio Update. I just picked up a FT-710 AESS for my QTH in New York. I’m looking forward to learning how to use it. Enjoy the upcoming weekend and I look forward to catching you on the air sometime. Cheers, Bill KC2KNA.
For the 1st time Peter, I worked 6 meters from my 155ft OCF antenna, have never heard it pick up a single thing on 6 before but, this was an extraordinary situation wasn't it?
Thanks Peter for the news...I turned my 10m moxon to Europe from Cumbria and was very surprised had some good late night contacts...keep up the hard work 73 Mike 2e0ikm
Your setup is awesome. Similar to mine. Except I've just got started in RF. Currently using SDR with an upconverter and down converter as I can't afford the high-tech gear. I'm a bit of a noob, but wanting to make a 20M transceiver for morse code so myself and my son can communicate but having oodles of fun with the SDR receiver. I'm middle aged and almost gave up on life. But I had this goal of learning to make an FM transmitter from my youth when we ran pirate FM. Now every day is exciting again. I've subscribed. I spent last night watching a lot of your videos.
Thanks for sharing your Paraset Radio and information with us Peter. I was wondering if you know, or maybe your subscribers, if a transcript is available to the public of the Morse code communications of Operation Grouse (Norway) between the commandos and the SOE? Thanks, and 73 de KO4AYC
I have frequency, on 20M, that I can count on. The guys there run an open roundtable just about all day every day. They come in strong most days. I haven't even seen their signals in over two weeks.
@@watersstanton Possibly. I usually log off around 2000 hrs to drop the mast. I try not to annoy my neighbours by dropping it too late; it's not exactly silent, sadly!
@@johnratcliffe6438I was listening on 2m SSB and heard G0SKA near High Wycombe. He was really strong into Leicestershire with a raspy sound from Aurora. Indeed the 2 m band had more activity than usual around 8-11pm stations could be heard.

Hi Charles. I am sure you will love that radio. I love mine! 73 Peter.

That massive yellow streak on the lower end of the waterfall on wsjtx was my first clue that things were going south propagation-wise.

Peter, I have reserved a PW2 and intend to buy it as soon as available, it is the ultimate in amplifiers.
Thanks Peter I look forward to your news and updates
I do my best! 73 Peter
Thanks Peter.
Looking forward to finding out if the new Xiegu 6200 has a frashright. FM coverage sounds compelling though.

Nice tip about checking the local noise 👍
Great work Peter. Icom is bring back the IC-718 in an updated version IC-718 72. Maybe you could do a review on it. 73 Joe
Cheers Pete
6m was open as well!
I wish we could have the Yaesu cash back directly in store with the dealers.
There are complications in accountancy. Most manufacturer’s offers tend to work in this way.
I heard G3SED up here in the inner Hebrides, and lot's of Scandinavian stations 5-9+ also

Maybe somebody can help?
6M/50MHz was Great, Many contacts upto 2000KM on a Dipole at 4M High
Xiegu have the X6200 availability 1st of June, €929.00 = @ £800
I have frequency, on 20M, that I can count on. The guys there run an open roundtable just about all day every day. They come in strong most days. I haven't even seen their signals in over two weeks.
Anybody know about this?
Why don't we see regular cashback offers from Kenwood and Icom?
Each supplier has their own marketing plans,
@@watersstanton That doesn't really answer my question Peter.
@@johnratcliffe6438I think it’s very clear. Email the other makers, I suggest?
I didn't see anything special on 10m here in Bucks, Peter.
Maybe you sere not on at the right times. It was world-wid with pile ups even after midnight.

Great new reporting, no mention of the 145 alive contesting?
Next time!
Took 3 weeks for my cash back to come through
Because of the right to return a product period.
Took 13 wks for mine
@@watersstanton I am not complaining, just giving my experience for anyone that may wonder how long it might take for the process to complete…
@@Chriswilliams-lx9mx wow that is quite a while to wait, maybe they were saving up or the banks were accruing interest in the money 🤔
still waiting for my cashback.
It can take a month or more as they have to take into account your right to return goods if mail order.
Background says MARCH 2024??
Yes my mistake!
