:-
Good Morning
Bill
No European
propagation
this week
but did work
Henk VK2GWK
at 0620 and
Bill VK4ZD

I have noted
that when I
have East
coast
propagation
DX
propagation
is unlikely.
Trust you
had a
pleasant
Easter.

From Brian
G3LUW
Dear
Bill,
Here are
four
pictures
that
Mike
G8LES
sent me.
He went
to
Brazil
with
Rotary
International,
and
ended up
swimming
when the
boat
capsized
after
hitting
an
object
in the
water.
He seems
to have
survived.
