Batson - NOT amateur radio
It seems amazing that it was a month ago that I visited my brother and walked here.
8m experiment (Tuesday)
At the moment I am on 10m QRP FT8 transceive, but will probably QSY to 8m later this morning if the Es sticks around.
UPDATE 1247z: Now on 8m FT8 TX.
UPDATE 1458z: EI9KP (649km) has spotted my 8m QRP FT8 TX.
10m FT8 QRP transceive
This morning at 0752z I went straight to 10m FT8 transceive. So far, 7 stations spotted on RX and 3 stations have already spotted my QRP FT8 TX. There is definitely Es around today. It feels quite different from early yesterday.
472 kHz transverter
It seems amazing that I made this transverter 10 years ago! This was me testing it just before boxing.

Ted Williams G4NUA
In years gone by, I used to speak with Ted on 2m every Monday. Last week, I sent him an email, but he has not replied. Has anyone any news please?
Myanmar executions - NOT amateur radio
This saddens me. The BBC reports that some opposition people in Myanmar (was Burma) have been executed. Now, I do not know the facts admittedly, but this seems brutal in the 21st century.
10m FT8 QRP
As results on 10m WSPR and 8m FT8 were so dire, I have changed to 10m FT8 to see if that is any better. Looking at the WSJT-X screen, I can see no stations, which does not bode well!
UPDATE 1730z: All the RX spots seem to be local or F2, with a general absence of Es. On TX, I think most (all?) my spots are within the UK.
Thatched cottages - NOT amateur radio
Especially in nearby Norfolk and Suffolk, there are some very attractive villages. This is an example. This is about 15 minutes drive away.
