    QTH is Garden Cottage which is high up on Green Mountain and has an excellent take off in many directions.

    We have a mixture of skills and interests in our team, and will run multiple stations simultaneously, so hopefully there will be something for everyone.

    Many thanks for a new one on 160m. Your signal is outstanding, so local qrn/qrm is no problem here. By the way, it was the first dx-qso with my renovated tree-vertical antenna.
