10m 500mW WSPR TX (Wednesday)
Although my QRP beacon has been on most of the morning, no spots. I suspect there’s a problem with WSPRnet. Someone mentioned a radio blackout today. if correct, this might have been the reason?
UPDATE 1953z: 4 stations spotted me in the end today. See table.
Old School Lane, Cambridge -NOT amateur radio
4m on the Yaesu FTX-1F
UPDATE 1442z: Steve has pointed out that Bangood sell the MCHF radio for £264.52. I think this is made in China. Pretty sure this is a clone.....but the price! I am always nervous about Chinese quality control, but they will get there and really frighten the Japanese. We already buy most of our consumer goods from China.

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.
