Still sad news but also quite amazing that the death toll in Jamaica amounted to 4 people. Yes that’s 4 too many, but my word it could have been so so many more.

Nice to work 10,12 and 15m with the 133ft efhw portable. Great to hear the upper HF bands open. Moving away from doldrums into hopefully a fruitful autumn for HF.

Superb to work @wgoodf.bsky.social on 40 last Friday evening. Much fun comparing an inverted v EFHW with a full sized quarter wave ground mounted vertical.
