630m QRP WSPR overnight

As usual, I was on 630m WSPR with my 10mW ERP. Furthermost were Germany and Norway, with 24 spots of me in the last day.

Sunspots - Tuesday February 13th

Solar flux is 208 and the SSN 153. A=4 and K=1. 

Chippenham Park - NOT amateur radio

Every year we go to Chippenham Park, near Cambridge, to see the snowdrops. As always, they were a picture. 

We also saw these swans.

 Solar flux is 180 and the SSN 144. A=14 and K=1.

Short-term memory - NOT amateur radio

 Not sure if this is old age or another artifact of my 2013 stroke, but my short-term memory can be poor. When I record the solar indices, I often have to go back and recheck the figures.

Spring coming - NOT amateur radio

We still have plenty of winter left, but today is very springlike.
