With Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington
This was originally planned to be two weeks at the usual Sheigra cottage, but following the sad death of owners Angus and Lena Macleod, that was no longer possible: the cottage is now in the hands of solicitors and its future is not yet known. Having booked the time off work, and being in need of a break anyway, we decided to look for alternative accommodation. Eventually, after much searching on the internet, we came up with two possible cottages to try. The first week was spent at Milovaig in the very remote north west corner of the Isle of Skye - a 635 mile drive from Caversham. The cottage was very comfortable and warm, and had superb views out over the sea towards the Western Isles. It was also very isolated, with no other inhabited cottages visible and was set back from a lane which lead to only three other properties - so virtually no traffic. Unfortunately, we found that nearby high voltage electricity lines limited us to aerials of about 100m in length in the most useful directions - any longer would have been too close to the electrical wires. Even so, interference was still a problem at times, but we had some reasonable listening and, during the daytime, did plenty of sightseeing while on Skye. It's a beautiful place to visit with spectacular mountain and coastal scenery, and certainly worth another visit. Although the cottage was perhaps not ideal from a DXing point of view, it would be highly recommended as a base to visit the island.
For the second week we headed over the Skye Bridge and on up to Sutherland to try a different holiday cottage in Sheigra - a five hour drive from Milovaig. Although we were aware that this cottage was available for rent, we had previously not considered it as being suitable as it was on the wrong side of the village for putting out North American aerials. However, having spoken to one of the neighbours in advance and being reassured that he would not mind if we ran a wire through his garden, we decided to book it. In the event we managed to put up three decent beverages - north west (for North America), east (for Asia) and south (for UK LPAMs and Africa) and they all worked well. In the past we put up three aerials for the Americas, but as we had to cross the public road and a neighbour's drive from this cottage, we decided to limit it to just the one wire and were certainly not disappointed with the results. A short (approx 150m) Latin American wire would also have been possible but we didn't get around to putting one up this time.
The cottage was surprisingly large and comfortable with such luxuries as a microwave, colour TV, CD player and even a breadmaker. It had also recently been fitted with new carpets and double glazing, so we had to be very careful that our activities would not cause any damage. The houseproud owner, who often stays there herself, is also very enthusiastic about her garden, so great care had to be taken with placement of the canes and earthing rods, so as not damage any plants. Once we had worked out a way of feeding the aerials through the double glazed windows (through the conservatory and under the front door into the lounge, where there was a large table), the next problem we ran into was the storage heaters, which caused quite bad electrical interference when running. As they were the main source of heating in the house (no real fire unfortunately), we had to keep them running overnight and during the day, but switched them off during the morning listening session when signals were getting weaker.
In March we often find the sheep are troublesome, and this year it was worse than ever, with numerous broken wires and broken canes caused by the sheep rubbing their heads against them. Even twice daily checking of the aerial wires to repair the damage was sometimes not enough, on two occasions we were out tracking down and repairing broken wires well after dark in order to be able to continue listening! Part of the problem this year was that we had to bring the wires down to the ground to cross the road and a neighbour's drive, and these sections were particularly vulnerable. However thanks to some extra-strong telephone wire kindly supplied by Martin Hall who we visited en route, we managed eventually to produce an almost sheep-proof system.
Weather wise we had just about everything, from huge hail stones, thunder and lightning, through gale-force winds which wrecked the TV aerial on the roof but caused little damage to our canes (they are very flexible and although they bend almost horizontal in storm-force winds, they rarely break except when the sheep get at them!) to three beautiful sunny days with not a cloud in the sky.
Radio reception was also variable, with generally average conditions throughout - favouring east coast North America at night (very little was audible from Latin America) and Asia in the afternoons. The last couple of days were particularly good on both counts with signals from Mid West USA/Great Lakes very strong in the 0730-0930 period, and excellent Asian afternoon signals. Despite being late in the season, USA faded out around 0930/1000 and Asia started to fade in around 1530/1600 on most days.
