    I take a trip out to the remote barn in the Peak District to monitor some military radio signals. I wanted to find out if there's any increased radio activity on the Russian military ground force frequencies. I get to hear some counter activity being transmitted on the frequency known as the Buzzer. I'm not sure whether the music/noises being played is radio trolling by amateurs or something more strategic. If you want to find out a little more about these frequencies and how to monitor military radio signals, this link is useful: https://priyom.org/military-stations/russia#ground-forces

    I finally get chance to get to the beach in South West Wales, beautiful part of the Country.I work the 20m band using a Xiegu X108G radio, MFJ portable tuner and a brick of a battery. The antenna was a homebrew 1/4 wave vertical wire with around 15 to 20m of radials. The antenna was simply a wire cut for slightly longer than a quarter wave, helical wound around a 4.1m flag pole with the remaining sloping down. I used a spike to sit the pole on set at an angle to make sure the sloping radiator did not get twisted and wrapped around the pole. The MFJ tuner worked perfectly, I attached the radials to the ground lug and the radiator to the long wire post.
