Here are a few stations I managed to receive throughout the day, mainly on 48m. Conditions this morning appeared quite reasonable, if a bit variable. A pity the same couldn't be said about the weather conditions though, with storm force winds bringing down trees, etc... Luckily the tree that holds up my makeshift longwire aerial is still standing

Some of the SIO ratings noted here were very variable. Plus weak entries like Ascona or Ramona, would probably be much better if I improved my aerial somewhat. But for now I will just have to make do.
73's all,
Robin
