6m QRP FT8 (Tuesday)

My 2.5W 6m FT8 was turned on at about 1245z. It looks like I caught a small patch of Es to Portugal. 

UPDATE 1826z:  Spotted VE1SKY (4730km) on 6m FT8 with the V2000 vertical omni antenna. Not sure if this was F2 or a brief patch of Es.  15 stations have spotted me today.

10m 500mW WSPR TX (Tuesday)

 

My beacon was turned on at about 1245z. So far, spotted by 3 stations.

UPDATE 1822z: Spotted by 4 stations today. I think these were mostly F2.

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.

10m QRP WSPR TX (Monday)

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