Solar flux is 107 and the SSN 96. A=9 and K=3.

10m QRP WSPR TX

As I am on 8m, I am on 10m WSPR TX with 500mW from the W5OLF beacon. It is now 1509z and spotted by 13 unique stations so far today. 

UPDATE 2045z:  27 unique stations have spotted me today. Now QRT.

8m experiment (Saturday)

After being in Cambridge most of the morning, I am again on 8m QRP FT8 on 40.680 MHz USB dial. No spots yet.

UPDATE 2147z:  Just a spot by EA3ERE (1153km). 

 

Archetypal Cambridge - NOT amateur radio

It is good to see people enjoying Cambridge again. It felt like old times.

Sunspots - Saturday July 23rd 2022

Solar flux is 114 and the SSN 107. A=11 and K=3.

OFCOM updates

 OFCOM has updated the information it holds on us. See the OFCOM website for details.

10m QRP WSPR TX

Since 0726z, I have been on 10m WSPR TX with my tiny 500mW W5OLF beacon. It is now 0840z and, so far, 6 unique stations have spotted me. This looks like Es in the main.

8m experiment (Friday)

Much to my surprise I was spotted by 3 unique stations yesterday on 8m FT8. Shortly, I hope to be on 40.680 MHz USB dial QRP FT8 again.

Full FT8 reports and locations (I cannot call this a QSO because of OFCOM - what utterly crass stupidity!!) were exchanged with one station in central Europe.

UPDATE 0937z:  Spotted by HC02 (1808km) in southern Portugal.
