Another website - NOT amateur radio

 Another website I have created is www.burwellhistory.org.  They were in need of a website.

8m QRP FT8 (Thursday)

My FT8 2.5W gear was turned on around breakfast time. The only spot of me is from local G4WSZ (12km).

Oscar 100 activity

Every few weeks I try to give an update on activity levels on Oscar 100 geosynchronous satellite. The last time I looked was on European breakfast time on a weekday. Activity was pathetic.

Thursday plans

Although the Es season is over now, and chances of my 2.5W QRP FT8 8m signal being spotted in Europe have greatly diminished, I still intend to try, but using the second time period in the hope of spotting some UK and Eire stations. 

Assuming I go on 8m, I shall be on 10m WSPR TX with the 500mW W5OLF beacon 

Sunspots - Thursday September 7th 2023

Solar flux is 147 and the SSN 131.  A=8 and K=2. 

Moulin Rouge - NOT amateur radio

For the first time since before Covid-19 struck, we went to the theatre in London by coach to the  Piccadilly Theatre. 

It was an impressive production with some very clever scenery. We get about 2.5 hours in London before the theatre. This is enough time to visit a few sights and get a meal.

10m QRP WSPR (Wednesday)

 Just F2 spots from the Canary Is, although I was unable to turn my 500mW until this evening.

8m QRP FT8 (Wednesday)

 As we went to London with our theatre group, I was only on this evening. Spots by G4WSZ (12km) only.

Sunspots - Wednesday September 6th 2023

 Solar flux is 143 and the SSN 121. A=10 and K=2. 

2m activity contest UKAC

This evening was the 2m activity organised by the RSGB. Conditions were "up", but this makes it harder for QRP stations to get through the wall of stations. 

With my 10W pep and big wheel omni antenna, I managed 9 QSOs in about 45 minutes before I had to go QRT. Best DX heard was an OZ in JO46 square.
