630m QRP WSPR overnight
21 stations have spotted my 10mW ERP from the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground in the last 24 hours.
Greencube Satellite
Many years ago I had one satellite QSO with a satellite that covered 10m and 15m (I think!). It was so long ago that I forget the satellite and bands! Of late, some have been experimenting with IO 117. This is a medium earth orbit satellite with a 70cm digipeater.

Ely from the train - NOT amateur radio
The photo show Ely as the train from Norwich drew into the station earlier this week. Ely is dominated by its cathedral on the hill. The River Great Ouse (into which the River Cam flows) runs through it. hence all the boats!
