G3XKR (IO70) spots me on 472kHz

Kingsbridge Estuary, S. Devon
G3XKR (347km) in North Devon has spotted me again on 472kHz WSPR when I was using 5mW ERP from the earth-electrode "antenna". He has copied me before and I have reached much further, but it is good to get spotted in my "old" county.

Years ago my very first amateur radio activity was in the South Hams area of Devon. I was active on 160m AM and CW. My first ever 2m reception was of G3VEH in Cornwall.  Did the sun really always shine back then?
