G3XBM amateur radio history

Me - a VERY long time ago!
Since my cerebellum brain bleed nearly 2 years ago, I have managed very little experimental work such as fieldwork and building. At one time (and I hope again in the not too distant future) these aspects of the hobby gave me the most pleasure and fun.

Hi Roger,
very interesting read of your radio history.

Would you say it is much more difficult these days to achieve the DX successes of yesteryears? I wonder if the ether is now so saturated with RF that that time has passed. I seem to suffer from continuous high level background HF noise that I never saw when I started amateur radio.
73 Ken G4APB and rarely get real two-way DX anymore.

Noise pollution, especially on the lower HF bands is much worse than years ago. I do wonder if HF propagation is now harder. Certainly we have passed a period of high sunspot peaks, but I think there is more than this going on.
