10m 500uW WSPR (Friday)
Although my beacon has been on all morning and synced to internet time, no spots of me today. I have lost count of the countries that have spotted my 500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR.

6m QRP FT8 (Thursday)
Today, I am on 6m FT8 with 2.5W to the V2000 omni vertical antenna. At 1400z, 33 stations had spotted me. Most look like Es.
UPDATE 1517z: 40 spots of my QRP 6m FT8 today so far (see map).
Brunch in Cambridge - NOT amateur radio
Google Adsense - NOT amateur radio
Perhaps they should rename this Google Nonesense? In the last hour my visitor numbers have (supposedly) doubled, which I am sure is not correct. I look regularly, although I am not sure why. Like the UK weather, I think your guess is as good!
European Es (Thursday)
As yesterday, there is intense Es in eastern Europe, which I hope moves west. Unlike yesterday, I have not seen any Japanese stations on 6m FT8. My own 2.5W FT8 is being spotted in the UK, with many on 6m hoping for some Far East DX!
