Hf

摘要

Mike, G4ADE, has responded to my comments in the October column regarding HF band activity. He agrees that activity is on the decline, and suggests it is at least partly because the RSGB encourages competitive activity in preference to general HF communication. Mike will not be surprised that I don't totally agree with this. It's almost inevitable that a column such as this will focus on DX activity and contesting, because day-to-day 'rag-chewing' is effectively 'business as usual', which will happen anyway (though I am always happy to hear about such activity, and to pass on any relevant news items).
