Hello again Brett
Well, Manchester is about 200 miles north and quite a bit west of London
- as it happens, it is where I originated, and where Terry (G3WUX -
MEMBER OF THIS LIST) originate - I am fortunately not directly related
to him!!!!!!
I hope that in the next few months we will have an ilink box near here (
51 14 n 00 32 w) 27 miles south west from London.
73 de G3YXX
