Magnolias in bloom are a sure sign of spring. We saw this in the nearby village of Lode. There were at least three.
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.
This is the village of Lode, about 4 miles from us. At the moment, the magnolia and daffodils look a picture.
My IC-705 at 6W FT8 has been on since about 0800z. UPDATE 2121z: 30 stations have spotted me today.
