I had a message from Harald XT2AW yesterday.

Harald explained that current temperatures were very high in Ouagadougou around 33C. He had managed to get his homebrew G3TXQ Hexbeam in the air with the help of his local friends. He said the antenna had been erected several meters higher (see photo’s) and this was giving him a better signal which was reported as being 2 S points higher in NA. He also received a report on 10M from an operator in Cincinnati, OH, USA of a true 599.

Listen out for Harald on most modes over the next few weeks. See previous Blog entries for details.

Charles M0OXO

I was born in the 1960’s and have lived all my life in the Coal Mining Town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, Northern England. My parents were all from this area of Yorkshire and my father worked in the main Industry of the local Collieries as a face worker. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 35+ years and we have two children and two grandchildren.

I have been licensed for around 20 years after my interest was re-kindled when I retired from my role as a Police Officer within South Yorkshire Police Force. The latter few years were spent as Radio Operator in the Force Operations Control Room at Sheffield, before my career ended.

IOTA chasing is (and always has been) my real passion, as climbing the ladder to reach Honour Roll status was always my main aim. The 1000 Islands Trophy is still out of reach but I am heading in the right direction. I am currently a Board Member of IOTA Ltd and IREF.

In my free time I am a keen Photographer of Wildlife, Aviation, (anything really) but the QSL Manager role is my main passion within Ham Radio.
