70cm FT8 cumulative activity contest
The 70cm FT8 activity contest is tonight starting at 1900z. I can only run 2.5W (10W on SSB) maximum to my 2m big-wheel antenna, but probably will be on for a while.
UPDATE 1656z: Just QSYed to 70cm to check SWR etc. All seems fine. Spotted by M0IEP (155km) on TX. Nothing spotted on RX yet.
See https://www.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/contest_rules.pl?contest=70cmsgmac.

314 stations spotted on RX overnight on 160m FT8 RX with the 10m antenna. Several in the USA.

70cm activity contest
This was this evening, although I only stayed on for 28 minutes because of my poor voice. As usual, I was using 10W to the 2m big-wheel omni antenna. My biggest "get away" was a station on the south coast. In all, 4 QSOs were had although many more would have been possible had I stopped on longer.
160m FT8 QRP (Tuesday)
Using 2.5W and the 10m end fed antenna, I was copied by 4 stations with the furthermost G4MSA (222km). On RX, 101 stations spotted at 2058z, with the furthermost 4X1UF (3513km).
UPDATE 2140z: 147 stations spotted on 160m FT8 RX this evening.
8m NoV application submitted October 2021
Still waiting any progress update from OFCOM. No email today, despite 2 emails from me in last 24 hours.
ARRL National Convention
As far as I know, this is still on. It is in Orlando, Florida, USA this Thursday. As always, check with organisers first before travelling far. This may be of interest to people in the USA.
