One of our grandsons lives in London. When he is with us we seem to have got into a groove of visiting local churches so he can record the bells ringing. At first, the videos were a bit jerky, but they are now much better.
He has a YouTube channel called "Ringer Luke". Today we went to Mildenhall (not ringing) and Freckenham that was (surprisingly for a small church) ringing. This tower has 5 bells, but 3 were being rung today, by one man!
At about 1115z I turned on my 15m gear using the Wellgood active loop on the shack window. So far (at 1137z) 104 stations already spotted.
I think it is the original Chirpy 10m transceiver.
This was later replaced by the Lesser Chirpy as it suffered far less from chirp as if you can't guess from the name! 😉
Some time ago someone suggested I write a book summarising all my amateur radio projects.
Sorry to disappoint, but this is very unlikely. Writing a book is a lot of work. All my projects are on my website and G3XBM video channel.
It is nice idea to compile a book, but quite a commitment.
UPDATE 1500z: I didn't realise quite how many projects I had done (at least 25). Maybe I should do a book. Maybe this should be my winter project? 😉
Since about 0908z, I have been on 15m FT8 RX with the Wellgood active loop. It is now 0949z and, so far, 130 stations have been spotted with the furthermost E25ETT (9673km) in Thailand.
My 17m QRP FT8 (about 4W) was turned on at about 1618z. Within a few minutes, I was spotted by 33 stations, See map.
