8m QRP FT8 (Thursday)
As the storm risk seems to have passed, I am again on 8m QRP FT8 TX on 40.680 MHz. I have been on for about 20 minutes.
UPDATE 1054z: No spots.
Thunder risk?
As there is a storm risk, I'm staying off air until the risk has passed. I am keeping a close eye on the lightning map.

8m QRP FT8 TX (Wednesday)
As I was able to sync time on the PC , I am on 40.680 MHz FT8 QRP TX (first) and RX.
UPDATE 1735z: No spots. PSKreporter was reporting long after the event. I checked the PC screen.
23cm transverter dispatched from Bulgaria
Assuming all is OK, I hope to try some local tests this year, with the 23cm UKACs next year. I have no idea how far I can get with the small test antenna supplied with it.
"Our" windmill next door - NOT amateur radio
The photo shows Andrew up on one of the sails. Rather him than me!
10m QRP
The first version of this little transceiver was designed and built in 2011. Shown on my main G3XBM website is the second version, that stopped the chirp. This was called the 10m Lesser Chirpy, for obvious reasons.
8m QRP FT8 (Wednesday)
Assuming I can sync time, I intend to be on 8m FT8 QRP non 40.680 MHz later.
UPDATE 1455z: As a later post shows, I was able to sync time on the PC.
Where I was born - NOT amateur radio
After WW2, this grand place was a nursing home. I was born here.
This photo here shows the place (Flete in South Devon) well over 100 years ago. At the time, we lived in a modest council house, but I enjoy telling people I was born in a stately home!
