We at GB3IM (2480/2481) were also connected to 2393 and, by association, into the hub. I didn't do it, and none of my users have been given instructions on how to do it, so it must have been an incoming connection. Sorry if the UK traffic that you were hearing was from here - it was unintended. It's always good to make new contacts, but I have never heard any traffic. As Ramesh points out, the time difference (of 7 hours) comes into play. I have disconnected and will wait to see what happens next :-) 73 David - GD4HOZ
