Yeah, no probs. Had it on today while waiting to clock out at work, about 15:20. Heard Maurice on, talking to someone but couldn't hear their side. I came a "breaker on the side, can you hear me Maurice" call out, but I don't think he could hear me. I thought mentioning his name might have prompted a reply. I could hear him crystal clear anyway.

[HD462]

QTH?...sorry, not up with all the lingo, what does that mean?

Yeah, I'm always mobile when using it, as it's fitted in my car. I always have a listen, and scan about the channels though.

Had a run down the coast to Whitby, stopped at various spots of high ground to try for DX contacts. Picked up Germany and South of France again, Italy, lots of stuff coming through, on UK and EC bands, and the various countries own bands. Got to Whitby and parked up in the car park next to the Abbey (high ground). Guess who I heard on UK Ch40, Maurice, he must be knocking some power out...lol

Tried to make contact a few times, but obviously couldn't hear me.
