Mark,

Normal listening in on my scanner an aor 3000A but at the moment just watching. It's been unusual to have any blue sky of late!

Exactly Ian make the most of it!!

Hi Mark,

Cheers for those. The C-17 came my way at 09:47 but the Bulgarian didn't come my way at all.

Dense fog here, about 300 mtres viz. My wife has been stationary in her car for nearly four hours due to an accident involving three trucks and a car on the A14 near Newmarket.

We had very dense fog in NW of Ireland yesterday. Vis about 100 metres temp minus 2 wasn't nice for driving in!

Just recieved Airnav Radar Box '09 in the door today from the uk. What an amazing piece of work, fantastic. Im in north Cork and from my upstairs room wit the magmount supplied I can pick up traffic as faraway as swansea. hope to put up an external up soon. This takes the hobby to another level and its the best money I have spent in a long time - I am kicking myself I did not buy it sooner. Well done Airnav!!!!!!!!!!
