I started this page in 1999 - this is the original Index page which I am now modifying. Please remember to use the refresh button.
I should appreciate any comments or feedback -  g4igo@talktalk.net

MY g4igo@ g4igo.co.uk mail and web site is no longer in use.

                            This is the original start to the page - as time goes on I will modify it more - but for the moment I just want to get something rolling. :-))

I have set these pages up so that the contents of my diaries , which go back to at least 1980, may benefit those of you that are interested in propagation for its own sake or as an aid to DXing. DXing on any band, but particularly on 50 and 144 MHz can be likened to the art of Fishing.
         The art of Fishing requires that you should know what Fish you wish to catch. This requires a knowledge of the type of water it resides in , the time of year best to catch it, the time of day best suited, the best bait to use , the type of equipment  and even the weather, and last but not least your skill and even at times luck!
         DXing isn't that much different. You need to know which Country your after. This requires a knowledge of who is there, the frequencies they prefer to use, the best time of the year to look for them, the best time of day, the mode they prefer to use , a good station, and, if involved, what part of the solar cycle is involved and last but not least your skill or even at times Luck!!

Remember the Golden rule of a DXer - being in the right place at the right time.!!!
Please feel free to use this information to help you to be there.
