Well, I stayed on this band and mode overnight but not a single spot! On the waterfall I saw several WSPR signals. I will check settings aga...

For a change, I am trying JT9-1 on 472kHz. I have been active for about 10 minutes so far. At the moment I am beaconing, although I tried ...

With another day with respectable Es on both 10m and 6m, the Es season is not yet over. OK there are probably fewer openings than a few mo...

See http://www.infotechcomms.net/propcharts . Taking a peek at Steve's propagation forecasts for 10m this autumn does not look good ...

As 10m WSPR appeared dire here this afternoon, I QSYed down to 20m and had a 2-way QSO using JT9-1 with  SP6EIY .  My power was 2W. I have...

In the end I QSYed from 10m WSPR to 20m JT9-1 looking for some 2-way QSOs. Although I called a K8 (5000km) he did not copy me. Looking at PS...

Solar flux is 104 today and sunspot number 38 (K=1). Forecast for 10m propagation is "poor" again. At present I am on 20m WSPR but...

Not long ago I had a 2-way QSO with OK2PDH by 20m JT9-1. There is little doubt that JT9-1 and JT65 are ideal modes for me currently. They do...

Overnight I was on 630m WSPR where I gave and received spots to/from the same few stations. At the moment I am in 10m and 6m WSPR but I hope...

We got home late after lunch so I did not get a chance to go on 20m JT9-1 TX. Tomorrow I am out much of the day on my U3AC course, so it may...

At the moment I am on RX only on 20m JT9-1 but I hope to get back on TX later today.

Photo thanks to Bas. I had my first JT9-1 QSO of the year on 20m a little while ago working SM3HHI (1376km) with 2.5W from the FT817 an...

As it took much longer than I expected to (nearly) complete my tax return, it will now be tomorrow that I will get on JT65 and JT9-1. Appare...

Tomorrow, all being well, I shall make a start on 2-way QRP QSOs in 2016 using these digital modes with WSJT-X V1.6.  Probably I'll star...

With my voice still poor (stroke) and still the same few reappearing night after night on 472kHz, I think my challenge for 2016 will be to w...

As WSPRnet has been "flaky" of late I gave 20m JT9-1 a go, looking for some 2-way QSOs. It seems busier on this mode than I recall...

From Sunday we have grandchildren here for over a week, so amateur radio will take a back seat. I may set WSPR running some of the time, but...

As 10m and 6m were doing nothing much, I had another outing on JT9-1 on 20m QRP.  There were several stations active.  A look on PSK reporte...

For a complete change I went on JT9-1 on 20m for a little while (worked LZ5QZ ) then returned to 10m WSPR using the FT817 so I could receive...

As my wife was having "girly" friends around I was banished to the shack.  Usually, since my illness, I turn on WSPR in the shack ...
