Well, that's it. DXing officially concludes at this address. My final scan across the band before unplugging the FM5.

The 9.2 comes down today. This wasn't possible over the weekend due to high winds.

I'll be offline for two weeks before Sky broadband is installed at the new address so I'll probably use wi-fi from one of the local coffee shops. It's a pity this couldn't have been arranged with more notice but we had no official confirmation that were moving until last Friday. We have a two week window in which to vacate the old address, which gives us thirteen days more than last time!

See you soon!

Good DX!

  2. Hi Alex. Just had our internet connected today and we are catching up with the mail.

    Probably best if I don't say too much until things die down. You never know who is watching! But we are still in Skegness.

    Cheers

    John
