Sibling reunion: 20th time - NOT amateur radio

Amazingly, my wife has met up with her brothers and their wives on 20 occasions over 22 years. Until a couple of years ago we took it in turns to host but now we meet up in hotels. This year we met in Hereford. 

8m Q65 tests

 Yesterday I tried some slow Q65 modes with G0KTN. Sadly these too were unsuccessful. 

Oscar 100 - worst yet?

A few days ago I monitored Oscar 100 at European breakfast time and there was ZERO activity!! OK this may be a poor time but nobody at all? I was shocked.

8m Q65 experiment failure

My overnight Q65 8m 30A tests overnight with G0KTN failed. I may try another test at a longer TX mode with higher weak signal ability. This will be of a shorter duration overall.
