| Oh, to be there! |
He's doing a fine job of managing the inevitable pile-up, more especially since it's about ten years since this island was last activated.
I was lucky enough to cut through the massive wall of calls at 18:11z this afternoon, using just 100W pep and a single element delta loop.
Craig has done very well to use simple verticals, which of course send out superb signals when sitting essentially at sea level, with the water just metres away in any direction. It's always a bit dumb when folk put up Yagis at beach locations, where they simply can't compete with a quarter wave or a 2-ele vertical beam.
With a 59+ signal into Wales at early greyline, Craig is showing us all how to do it the right way at the seaside!
