Annus Horibilis - NOT amateur radio
It is probably true that each of us have some issues or problems that others are not aware of. The image we project is of happiness and jollity. Often the truth is very different. This year most of us have suffered because of the Covid pandemic. In the UK we have also the BREXIT mess.
In our own family we have one son with 2 children heading for a messy divorce and a different daughter-in-law who is estranged and we don't know why.
For all of you with hidden issues, I hope 2021 will be better. As they say, "never judge a book by its cover". How true.
This has truly been an "annus horibilis" for us.

It is now 1020z. About 10 minutes ago I QSYed to 17m FT8 with 2.5W and the tiny indoor loop. 11 stations spotted on RX, but nobody has spotted me on TX.
UPDATE 1502z: 69 stations spotted on RX. Nobody has spotted me on TX yet.

2m FT8 QRP overnight
Overnight I stayed on 2m FT8 using 2.5W and the big-wheel omni antenna. 14 spots of me in 4 countries. It was not worth staying on.

FT8 cartoon
As you may know I enjoy FT8 with my poor voice and QRP. Yesterday I was sent this cartoon although I have no idea where it came from.
