Gerard, don't forget that Lary VK5LY (SK) was also on 40m as well as 30m
(possibly 20m) and is a sadly missed station.

As 2IO would fade away 5LY would take over!

I'm ok to move over to 20m if worth it, otherwise I'll remain on 40m

I only transmit 25w on 40m and gate anything that I decode. Have to admit
that I haven't looked at the RF ligs in a long time!
