Climate Change and Mr Trump - NOT amateur radio

Please someone, tell Donald that climate change is not a hoax. Most on this planet are convinced that concerted global action is needed. The Paris climate agreement was a step on the way. Together we have some, albeit slim, chance of leaving a better world for our children and grandchildren.

6m JT65 again

After another day with Japan copied on 6m JT65, I am again on 6m JT65. It would be good, no remarkable, if my own 6m JT65 signal was spotted in Japan. These very long paths to Japan soon disappear in the next few weeks.

UPDATE 0809z: Plenty of 6m JT65 spots within Europe, but no signs (yet) of anything further afield.

UPDATE 1604z: I am again supposed to have spotted a station in Indonesia on 6m JT65. As before, I do not believe this. I am sure this is a UK pirate, unless proved credible. Funny how all the spots are in the UK and not one in Europe.

UPDATE 1635z: I am supposed to have spotted VU5SGO (7156km) in India on 6m JT65. Judging by others who he has been spotted by, I think this is either a false decode or a pirate too. Pity.

UPDATE 1852z: Now I am supposed to have spotted AR6FDG (6099km) in Pakistan on 6m JT65. Only 2 G stations are shown as having spotted him. UK pirate? Also JW7QIA (2917km) which is believable. It is quite hard to know which are genuine.

New webpage about HF conditions

Yesterday, I added a new page to my main website. This is about HF conditions.

See https://sites.google.com/site/g3xbmqrp3/hf/hfcondx .

All the pages on my main website may be accessed at http://www.g3xbm.co.uk.  Here, if you drill down, you will find a wealth of data and projects.

Sunspots - Tuesday July 4th 2017

Solar flux is 72 today. Sunspot number is zero. A=5 and K=0.

Bee on lavender - NOT amateur radio

This bee (and lots more!) were busy on a lavender bush at Anglesey Abbey near here yesterday.

Again! - NOT amateur radio

Yet again, my blogs are being targeted by interested parties in a certain eastern European country. One of my blogs has already had 5 times the normal level in a day!! I hope the account is secure and they soon go away.

UPDATE 2102z: At the moment visits to this blog are running at about twice normal levels at this time. I wonder why? 😜

6m JT65

Today, I am on 6m JT65 (1W ERP) transceive. There is already Es about from eastern Europe mainly.

UPDATE 0858z: EA8DBM (3015km) spotted my 1W ERP QRP 6m JT65 a few minutes ago.

UPDATE 1740z: JG2BRI (9445km) was spotted on 6m JT65 this morning. First Japanese station spotted for a while on 6m JT65.

Sunspots and 10m - Monday July 3rd 2017

Solar flux is 72 today and the sunspot count is 11. A=18 and K=1. As I have not been on 10m since last week (6m instead!), I may drop the references to 10m.
