Wicked times - NOT amateur radio

All our grandchildren love Halloween with the dressing up, the silly party games and the food. As they go home tomorrow, we are having the party tonight instead.

East Anglian skies - NOT amateur radio

We have few hills in the part of UK, but we get some great skies as this photo taken by my son on his phone shows.

CQWW contest and 10m

This afternoon I went on 10m SSB expecting it to be filled with CQWW contest stations. I copied none, so I QSYed to 20m. There were plenty. This morning I tried 10m SSB and there were a few stations on. It was not exactly busy.

Today on 10m FT8 RX I have spotted 310 stations from all over including 3 USA stations in the last 30 minutes. OK, it may just be conditions and the band may be very busy later.  I hope this isn't a sign of the times in the hobby with stations coming on FT8 just to work DX and then going to sleep again until their software alerts them to a new country!

Autumn - NOT amateur radio

 

This was 4 years ago. 

10m FT8 RX (Saturday)

My gear has been on for about about an hour. 155 stations spotted so far with the furthermost VK4CAG (16445km).

UPDATE 1052z:  197 stations spotted today.

UPDATE 2137z:  QRT. In all, 339 stations spotted today.

Help please

Some months ago I changed my main G3XBM website to New Google Sites, but I cannot see how to insert a box with html code. This is probably easy but I can't see how to do it. If you know, please tell me! 

My idea is to add live amateur radio news. 

I can probably do it by embedding a page, but some browsers do not like embedding.

University of the 3rd age (Cambridge) - NOT amateur radio

Friday is the day I go into Cambridge for my U3AC lecture. I go every Friday. Sadly, today there were rain showers, that I managed to dodge.

The photo shows Cambridge in autumn.
