Seems ages since I last posted anything in this blog.

I am very much in a state of 'limbo' as I wait to see if I can realise my dream of moving to be nearer the coast; something I've been trying for a couple of years now.

It's difficult to get your mind into anything other than very simple projects when you don't have a sense of permanency about where you live; at least that's how I feel about it! 😁

FT operation is somerhing that I can do whenever I feel like it - conditions permitting - and it can often result in some surprising results.

I recently managed to work into Taiwan for the first time and today's bag was an interesting mix - bands restricted to 20m and 15m only.

I could see that my signals were going out OK in virtually all directions of the compass - bar into Africa, which is usual -  and I was reading stations from those countries; but it was a struggle to get going and make contact.

Once the 'invisible barrier' was down, I worked an eclectic mix from Guernsey through to South Korea!
