Sunday night 9.30 H.
Really, it wasn't much fun this morning.
High noise level, band not quite open
yet etc. While I had to strain my ears to
hear you, Per in Denmark
came through very well and Reinhart in YV
land also (but that is a different situation
of course). Funny enough when I said my
'good-bye's', you came through 5/8!
Our WX is getting very tiresome. We had some
days with relatively 'mild' weather. Today
+1 C. but now the clouds are gone and
tonight will be -14 C. Ha!
Very little Rotary activity and so nothing
to report. The people feel Blah! about the
ever recurring snow, which so far already
has broken all records of quantity fallen.
Have a good week. 73's Coos VE2GTI

Hi Bill,
Found John EA/G4HMG calling on 3694. John
GW4KVJ and Donn G0JWE and myself enjoyed
very good conditions for twenty minutes or
so.
John in Spain brought it to a close as he
wanted to watch The Antiques Road Show

From Brian G3LUW - on Wednesday.
Hi Bill, I am
going to have to give my apologies for
Sunday (17th) Feb. It is Margaret's
birthday, and we are staying in Shepperton
for the weekend.
The children want us to stay on until Monday
to celebrate.
