Pulls Ferry - NOT amateur radio

 Last month we visited Norwich. Pulls Ferry is where the stones to build Norwich Cathedral came through from Caen in France 🇫🇷.

Tuesday plans

 My current plans are the same as yesterday with QRP 6m FT8 and 10m QRP WSPR TX with my 500mW beacon.

Sunspots - Tuesday August 27th

 Solar flux is 232 and the SSN 202. A=5 and K=1.

More Google crappery - NOT amateur radio

Just now I got another email from Google. It was entitled "Moving the policies for video inventory to the Google Publisher Restrictions". Having read it several times, I am none the wiser! 

Why do they bother?

Classic Car Day - NOT amateur radio

Every year the museum next door holds a Classic Car Day. It is always very popular with loads of classic cars and motor bikes.

Although biased, it probably ranks as one of the very best local museums in the UK. It is vast.

6m QRP FT8 (Monday)

Most of the morning I have been on 6m FT8 with my 2.5W QRP. Lots of Es (I think!).

UPDATE 1037z: 36 stations have spotted me. See map.

UPDATE 2127z: Spotted by 105 stations today.

10m QRP WSPR TX (Monday)

My 500mW  beacon has been on most of the morning. Spotted by 30 stations. See table.

UPDATE 1617z:   66 stations have spotted me today. I think this is a mixture of Es and F2 propagation.

WISPY 2012

 

Many years ago I designed and built this circuit for 10m WSPR. It was later adapted for 10m FT8. It works really well.

Monday plans

Today I shall stick with 6m QRP FT8 but unlike yesterday (I forgot!) I shall also be on 10m QRP WSPR with my 500mW beacon.
