Steve 2E0XAY was up at his favourite layby near Copt Oak Leicestershire on Sunday.

He was transmitting Analog and recieving GB3VL over 77Km path.

Due to other commitments it is not always possible to fix a day, so bit of a quick dash.

Picture attached of snagged Analog from GB3VL Batc stream.

Also couple of snaps from his location.

I did try and rx Steve at Dunstable, saw his signal on the SDR and saw some sync bars on the monitor but no pictures I was using a 25 ele yagi only 3 ft above the ground as I had packed up due to high winds when Steve called.
