8m QRP FT8 (Wednesday)
My 8m 2.5W WSPR was on for a few hours this morning, but no spots. Now QRT on 8m.
Dream - NOT amateur radio
Most nights I dream but cannot remember them. Last night, just before waking, I had a dream that I remembered. I have absolutely no idea why I dreamed it! This is the essence of the dream:
We were on holiday and staying in a hotel room. Before we checked out we noticed that the bathroom bowl and a cupboard had been completely removed.
Now, this is totally bizarre as in reality we would have heard this being done. Dreams often reflect something going on in one's waking life, but I cannot think what this could be.
Any ideas?
At the chancel door: read the words! - NOT amateur radio
It is important to read the words, not just glance at the photo.
In death wealth does not matter.
10m 500mW WSPR in the last day
My 10m WSPR beacon was re-synced to internet time a few moments ago. In the last day 7 different stations have spotted my beacon with quite a few already this morning.
UPDATE 1328z: after a break of several hours, I am back on TX. No recent spots.
UPDATE 1700z: 10 stations have spotted me in the last day.

2m activity contest this evening
After 5 QSOs with 10W SSB to my big-wheel omni, my voice had had enough, so I went QRT.
Battling with repeating my callsign is no longer fun. In fact it is hard work. As my voice is now poor, I really struggle in SSB contests. It used to be fun whereas now it is far harder.
Servicing the gas fire - NOT amateur radio
The photo shows our gas fire being serviced.
Radio France International antennas
These are the antennas at Radio France International. It looks like they have directional antennas so the ERP in the chosen direction must be huge.
