Opening by E scatter on date 10th June, 2012.

[GW3MHW]

On 10th June 2012, the following stations were received at GW3MHW (IO82ip) using the beacon crossed dipole antenna:

IF9/12ADN JM67 approx. 11:00 UTC
S51DI
S57LM
S51ZO
HG1BVC
EA7KB
IZ1DYE/B JN35PA.

Several British stations were heard including GW3TMP. My poor ant does not perform too well with UK stations. Perhaps in the future a directional beam may be installed. I have a spare beacon TX that could be used xtal controlled cw only in due course. A suitable xtal is been sought.

The long term problem from EMC (or lack of it) has resulted in the 4 metre apparatus at GW3MHW falling into disuse and has become defunct.

During openings may I suggest stations move away from close to 70.200 when using 'fone as several appear almost on same QRG as each other making copy difficult.
