Subtotal 13 QSOs. On Sun 10Apr at 10:40 PA0BAT 569/559; 19:20 VE6TA 559/559; 19:56 W5LUA 569/569 and at 20:18 WW2R O/O. Total 17 QSOs. Unfortunately no new initial. On Sun 10Apr watched PJ4X exped on 432 MHz, but no trace was found in our man-made noise background on 70cm. We found it as a hard job even for the biggest guns. During time spent on it we worked at 14:17 G4FUF -17/O; 14:26 G4EZP -18/O and 14:42 I1PIK -22/O but ncfm for TX failure at I1PIK. We would be happy to test with anyone on 24GHz in coming days. When you are ready for a test, let us know, pls !
