80m: HOT!

I couldn't sleep early this morning, so I took the car-portable set-up off
to the west coast of Anglesey. I wasn't on the coast itself or within
sight of water, but about 1km inland.
I was intent on some 40m work, but was curious what I might hear with the
40m Ampro on 80m. Boy, was I amazed - and very much encouraged to try an
80m Ampro, or even maybe a low wire dipole next time. No doubt that, in
the late evening, Japanese stations would be all over the waterfall, too!
A few minutes' listening at 80m - with a 40m antenna!
