Autumn is coming - NOT amateur radio

 

At last, the leaves are changing and it looks more like autumn. The photo shows the trees on the green this morning.

630m QRP WSPR (Tuesday)

 Most of the day I was on 630m QRP WSPR with the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground. At 2130z,   8 spots of my 10mW ERP.

40.680 MHz QRP FT8 (Tuesday)

 For a couple of hours, I was on 8m FT8 QRP with my 2.5W. Just G4WSZ (12km) was spotting me.

Tuesday plans

Later, I shall probably turn on my 500mW 10m WSPR TX beacon. I may stay on 630m QRP WSPR in the daytime as an experiment and give 8m a miss.
