UPDATE 1606z: Lightning now just east of Newmarket and getting closer! Decision on going QRT will be taken in next few minutes.
Simple QRP projects, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, FT8, 160m, WSPR, LF/MF, sub-9kHz, nanowaves and other random stuff, some not related to amateur radio.

Storms to (just) miss us today?
See http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime?lang=en . For now, the local thunder and lightning appears to be just avoiding us: it has tracked from Cambridge up into the Fens and seems to be moving NE. This is good news.
UPDATE 1600z: There are new storms to the south of Newmarket and we can hear thunder in the distance now. At the moment these are moving NE as well but I shall disconnect rigs, antennas and PC if they get too close.

Hi, Roger. I'm running 20W into a 20m long "Tee" antenna at 5m. Antenna current is about 1 amp. However, I'm using a 60 cm Tuned loop on receive, and not the main antenna.
