University Church, Cambridge - NOT amateur radio

Grove or copse? - NOT amateur radio
The photo shows me at nearby Anglesey Abbey this morning. A few years ago they planted some silver birches which have now matured. I am unsure if this should be called a grove or copse. Apparently according to Paul (see comments) it is a grove.
160m FT8 RX
Having gradually gone to lower and lower frequencies, I have settled on 160m FT8 RX. So far, 17 stations spotted with the furthermost YL1ZF (1605km).

Indian Convention
Looks like there was/is a large amateur radio convention in India. I notice that there are few (if any) wearing masks. Some months ago India was overwhelmed with Covid-19 cases. With the new variant spreading fast, I am surprised.
