Amazon algorithms - NOT amateur radio
After buying things from Amazon, I get bombarded with suggestions of things to buy of very similar items to what I have just bought. As an example, I recently got a new electric razor and I am now getting lots of suggestions for similar electric razors. Having just bought one, a new electric razor is the very last thing I want!
Surely their algorithms could be changed to exclude items similar to ones bought recently? This would not be rocket science.

Sorting out the QDX and PC
As we are out later, I think working on the QDX and PC will have to wait until Thursday now.
Lunchtime - NOT amateur radio
This lunchtime we met up with old friends. My wife used to teach with the husband in 1972. I did say “old“ friends!!
Plans for Wednesday
Later this afternoon I hope to sort out my PC and QDX. As you know I had planned to do this earlier in the week, but events overtook this.
Assuming it all works and there is no thunder (!) I shall try 10m QRP FT8.
QDX videos
There are lots of videos on YouTube singing the praises of the tiny QDX digital transceiver from QRP Labs. This is just one as an example. It really is tiny and for many it will be all you ever need on HF.
Last ones? - NOT amateur radio
We try to have a small bowl of fruit each morning with breakfast. For several weeks this has included wild blackberries picked from a bush about 25m away.
I think the last ones have been picked for this year, but will see if there are any more, but I am not hopeful.
Yesterday
Yesterday I planned to sort out my PC and QDX. Instead I helped someone else with their PC and service provider. Can you imagine someone who is more ignorant about PCs than me!!? They exist! Later today I hope to do what I hoped to do some days before.
