Sunday lunch - NOT amateur radio


The photo shows where we ate lunch yesterday in Hope Cove. I have a record of my ancestors living here in the mid 1500s so we were probably here thousands of years before then. It is probable that a distant ancestor manned the Iron Age fort in the distance.

8m testing this week

 Later this week I hope to continue my 8m FT8 tests and re-erect my 8m dipole.

QMX+ testing later

 When I get home I expect my USB-C lead will have come. At some point early this week I hope to do more tests with the QMX+ rig.

Travelling home- NOT amateur radio

After a few days in Devon with my brother I travel home later. It has been a good few days with weather I could not improve on - sunny and warm and not humid.

With my brother in Devon - NOT amateur radio

 


This was me with my brother in Devon earlier.

Move to the right? - NOT amateur radio

 Looking at mainland Europe, it seems there is a move to the right politically. Many right wing politicians reflect a view that is shared by many. 

In the UK 🇬🇧 we seem to be moving to the left having had a right of centre party in power for 14 years.

What is this?

 

This was seen at Friedrichshafen and puzzled many.
