Say thank you Ann from me... Haa, thats a polite way too of saying I look old hi :-) From what I recall, it was a self taken picture shot with a small Kodak DC20 digital camera. I stood the camera on top of my PC at the other side of the shack, put on a po face and that was the result! I'll take some more shortly, but hopefully looking more cheerful :-)

Nice to have spoken with you, Chris and Martin (ZMH) yesterday evening.

Pity Flo wasn't heard, but there'll be other days. I have left these KKC nets for too many years, so it's well past time I got back in.  After that quickie on 40m at 21:15, I did call you again at 22:00, but the band was full of Frenches calling 'CQ contest'. I called you a little HF of 7.052, but nothing heard. I went QRT about 22:30. Still, it does show that there's a path from the UK to Canaries at that time of night. As a test, I dropped down to 80m, but didn't hear any G stations. But as expected, I couldn't load up on that band (into a 40m dipole !!)

So, looking forward to having more QSO's with you geezers and this 'photo blitz' that Flo has mentioned. I'd love to see the one of me at the Kirkenhoff.. and yes, I remember well saying "Those flowers are getting right up me bugle!" The other thing I remember from that day was G3KDY? dressed up in his black raincoat and beret (like Michael Crawford!) called CQ from a windmill in the gardens! Yep, a funny geezer he was and great times too with the UK London FM group :-)

Speak to you soon,

73's John
