At about 0845z, I turned on my 10m FT8 system. A brief 2.5W TX period was spotted by G8DX (197km). On RX just one spot so far probably aircraft or tropo from a station in the Netherlands.

The last 12 hours on 472kHz WSPR RX
Last evening and overnight I was on 472kHz WSPR RX using the coax to my 2m big-wheel via an ATU. 8 unique stations were spotted with the furthermost OH1LSQ (1733km).

472kHz WSPR RX
At the moment I am on 472kHz (630m) WSPR RX using the coax up to the 2m big-wheel antenna tuned via the ferrite rod ATU on the shack bench. So far, 3 unique stations spotted with the furthermost OH1LSQ (1733km).
70cm FT8 - NOT this evening
As the Hepburn tropo forecast looks poor, I have decided not to go on 70cm FT8 this evening. I may try 160m FT8 instead.
Punts - NOT amateur radio
Cambridge UK is famous for its colleges and punts on the R.Cam. The photo shows a punt outside King's College. The world famous King's College Chapel is about 200m away.

Just occasionally, the grabber may be looking at something else, although mostly it will be on 10m FT8.
More Bronze Age finds - NOT amateur radio
The fact that people were living in communities just 300m from us 3000 years ago is pretty humbling.
