630m WSPR overnight

My 10mW ERP 630m WSPR from the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground was spotted by 14 stations (see table) with 12 spots from Norway.

10m QRPP WSPR yesterday and today

Amazingly, my 500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR was spotted once in the Canary Is. yesterday. I honestly was not expecting this. I left my beacon running more in hope than any real expectation.

It is on now and just been resynced to internet time, so I am again on 10m WSPR with just 500uW (0.5mW).

UPDATE 1425z:  No spots today with QRPP WSPR!

Sunspots - Friday March 15th

 Solar flux is 127 and the SSN 88. K=8 and A=2.

6m QRP FT8 (Thursday)

 My 2.5W FT8 to the V2000 vertical omni antenna is on. At 1022z, 5 English stations spotted me.

10m QRPP WSPR (Thursday)

As 500mW 10m WSPR yesterday was so easy, I returned to 500uW (0.5mW) today. Judging by yesterday, I might have got one spot at 500uW. SSN is slightly better today, so we will see!

Sunspots - Thursday March 14th

 Solar flux is 128 and the SSN 86.  A=9 and K=2.

70cm FT8 activity contest

70cm FT8 RX

 At the moment I am 70cm FT8 RX only, although I shall probably try to work some locals later with 2.5W and the 2m big-wheel omni antenna.

UPDATE  2020z:   Plenty of stations active. I think these are normal conditions on 70cm FT8. Imagine if I had a beam!

70cm QRP FT8 TX

UPDATE 2106z: I am surprised where my 2.5W to the omni reaches on 70cm FT8.

King's College Chapel, Cambridge - NOT amateur radio

We walk here most Tuesdays and rather take it for granted. Some people travel half way around the world, at great expense, to see it. 

As locals, we can see it for free. Cambridge has many fine buildings.

6m QRP FT8 (Wednesday)

My 2.5W 6m FT8 to the V2000 vertical omni is now on. So far, just one English station near Oxford has spotted me.

UPDATE 1645z:  12 stations in England and Wales have spotted me. 8 stations have been spotted here.

10m 500mW WSPR (Wednesday)

 This morning, I am again running (for me!!) QRO i.e. 500mW WSPR. After just a few minutes, DX spots of me received.

UPDATE 1650z:  So far today 16 stations have spotted my 500mW 10m WSPR.

UPDATE 1715z:  34 stations have spotted me today.
