VHF NFD

In all, I had 2 short periods on 2m VHF NFD.  8 stations were worked.  More could have been worked had I stayed on longer, but I was exhausted. In the end I was just giving away points.

10m WSPR TX beacon

Since about 0935z I have been on 10m WSPR TX beacon using 500mW to the tiny indoor loop antenna. So far no spots.

UPDATE 1352z:  Just spots by OZ7IT (853km).

SAQ reminder

Yesterday I reminded you about a special transmission from SAQ on17.2kHz VLF.  See yesterday's post for details.

VHF NFD

The 2m leg is Sunday July 5th. I have no idea about other bands. I shall try to come on briefly with my 10W and the big-wheel omni antenna.

SAQ test transmission

The historic 17.2kHz VLF CW alternator transmitter is making a special transmission this Sunday July 5th. This TX is almost 100 years old!

As is normal, I'm on 10m WSPR TX. Already quite a few spots. It is only 0950z and already spotted by 10 unique stations.

UPDATE 1800z : No spots since 1254z.

Breakfast - NOT amateur radio

Apart from a very brief CQ at 10W to the V2000 vertical omni, I have been on 6m FT8 RX. Plenty of EU Es spots.
