There is not a lot of technical discussion on here since the norm of

I'm afraid I did. Perhaps one day I'll be able to buy all the back-issues on a
DVD-ROM disc (or something).

When I went to the local club meeting, I was surprised by the 60m announcement:
it's not every day we're granted a new band! :-)

Are you coming to visit? I'll stick the kettle on then...

No, nothing planned, Andy, so don't boil the kettle dry! I do have an
Extra Class (KK7GL), acquired in the UK, but have not yet used the call.
