One of the exhibits is a Nissan hut with things from WW2. I cannot rave it more highly as it is probably one of the best local museums in the UK. Really well worth visiting.
As I am unlikely to fix things today, I suspect there will be no action on 8m FT8 TX here today.
UPDATE 1927z: reset router and flushed DNS cache, but still no success....yet.
It looks my issue with time sync is more general with DNS addresses. All websites fail to connect with this PC although other PCs work fine. I have found a very good site to systematically work out what's wrong. After lunch, I intend to work through these and fix the problem.
UPDATE 1930z : Flushed DNS cache and reset router, but no success.... yet.
Well, FT8 is working on 8m FT8 RX on a different PC, but not yet on TX. The audio shows TX on the SignaLink USB, but no power on TX.All sliders are at maximum. It must be something stupid I am doing. This PC must be about x20 slower than the machine usually used!
UPDATE 1236z: No spots on 8m FT8 RX today.
As I can sync my 10m WSPR TX beacon without the PC, I am able to TX WSPR at 500mW. It is now 1000z and so far today 6 stations have spotted me.
I need to fix the PC as this is needed for FT8.
