10m 500uW WSPR (Saturday)

 My QRPP beacon is on again. It was spotted in Germany yesterday, so I remain hopeful.

UPDATE 1712z:  Spotted in 2 countries today.

At Anglesey Abbey yesterday - NOT amateur radio

The photo shows a plant at Anglesey Abbey yesterday.

630m WSPR overnight

4 stations spotted my 10mW ERP WSPR overnight with the furthermost GM3YXM (425km).

Sunspots - Saturday May 18th

 Solar flux is 204 and the SSN 168.  A=29 and K=3.

Last one - NOT amateur radio

We went to Anglesey Abbey this morning. We saw this last daffodil.

Kenwood TH-D75

The latest MLS price for this handheld is £789. 

Who pays this stupid money for a handheld? 

I guess people with very deep pockets and very small brains.

Ancient websites - NOT amateur radio

 Nothing infuriates me as much as websites that are very out of date!  Today, I chanced on this:

"Next proposed Working Party Dates: 6th February 2011 and 6th March 2011."

This is only 13 years out of date 😉.   If you are doing a website it has to be maintained!!

6m 10mW WSPR (Friday)

My 10mW 6m WSPR is on again. As you will know this is to find out how well 10mW ERP might perform on 8m, which is available to all (certainly in the UK) under ISM rules without a licence. I am guessing there are more monitors on 6m.

UPDATE 1900z:  No 6m spots of me today. Unexpectedly, 3 UK stations were spotted on 6m WSPR RX despite the large pad on the rig output!

UPDATE 2135z: G0VQH (15km) has spotted my 10mW 6m WSPR very strongly (+2dB S/N) 

10m QRPP WSPR (Friday)

My 500uW 10m WSPR is on again, although I doubt this will be copied unless we have really good Es further west in Europe. Maybe later?

UPDATE 1343z:  DK6UG (633km) has spotted my 500uW 5 times today.

European Es

 At the moment, Es seems better in Europe further east. Let's hope it spreads further west!
