Hello Roger. Tried to call you today on 10 m FT8 but without luck.
Your FT8 signal level was in Moscow about -15 ... -20 dB. May be next time...

Good to hear from you Karen. It has been many years!
Hello Roger,
glad to hear from you. A lot of changes for last 5 years including in our S....a house. Many new people in the team.
How is your health?
I continue to be active in QO-100 ground station design. After classical up-converter I moved to SDR solution in 2021 and now make the forth version of SDR station for Pluto.
More details you can found here:

Hi Karen - no real change in health. I still feel very giddy, and my voice is poor and still keep busy with experiments I can do from home. I hold one of the few 8m (40 MHz) UK permits. Excellent on your continued experiments - you always were working at the boundaries of technology!! I write the occasional article for ham magazines. 73s Roger G3XBM
Hi Roger,
a few years ago my friend had similar heart problems like yours but after the stroke he was able to gradually recover. I believed that you can get better, sorry.
As for your new license for 40 MHz it is very interesting, we now do not have such a frequency band. The band 38-40 MHz was available in the USSR for a short time from 1955 to 1959 and then radio amateurs was allocated to 28.0-29.7 MHz in 1959.
If I can help you with something please tell me. At least to make QO-100 kit is not at all difficult.
I shake your hand with wishes for improving health.
