In what will become a regular feature of this blog now, I had an hour or so down at the beach this afternoon, under what were rather leaden, autumnal skies.

| It's the monotonous flatness and proximity to the sea that makes it great for radio! |
Whilst a TV crew filmed a piece about the origins of the Landrover, which was an idea born not only on Anglesey, but at this very beach I was on, I enjoyed very good success out to the Far East on just an Ampro 17m stick and 15W out. I even had a decent SSB QSO with VO1VK on ~25W, even though the band wasn't really strong enough for that mode (Dean was 5/7 against my 5/1).

| Amazing outcome, considering conditions were pretty poor. |

| Very pleasing results. |
Update: The following day, things were even better!
And even better the day after that!
