Original 10m Chirpy transceiver?
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! 😉
Amateur radio projects book?
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? 😉
15m FT8 RX (Saturday)
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.
UPDATE 1730z: 612 stations spotted today. QSY soon.
Sub 9kHz amateur radio
In 2010 I managed to see DK7FC on 8.970kHz using my earth-electrode antenna in the ground. Notice this took hours! Just a faint line. After this, several signals across Europe were copied. Note that each marker is 0.1Hz!! Very narrow bandwidths, very good stability and long integration times are essential.
South Devon in winter
Many see holiday locations at good times of the year. This was some years ago in winter.
