10m QRP WSPR TX yesterday

 In all 69 stations spotted my 500mW yesterday afternoon including many in the USA 🇺🇸.

Ely Cathedral - NOT amateur radio

This was a view of Ely Cathedral yesterday from the carpark at Tescos.

 Solar flux is 176 and the SSN 130. A=8 and K=2.

10m 500mW WSPR (Tuesday)

 Although my beacon has been on since about 0810z, no spots.

UPDATE 0955z:  10 stations have spotted me. See table. F2 related?

UPDATE 1517z:   62 stations have spotted my QRP 10m WSPR today.

6m 2.5W FT8 (Tuesday)

 My gear was turned on about 0810z. So far, just one G spot.

UPDATE 1025z: Several stations spotted in Europe but only 7 G spots of my 6m FT8 QRP so far. See map of where I have been spotted.

UPDATE 1514z:  Just one station from "across the pond" spotted on 6m FT8 today - WA1NLG (5244km). My QRP didn't make it. 24 stations spotted - mostly UK, but some in continental Europe.

Autumn flowers - NOT amateur radio

My wife saw these yesterday. A lovely display of autumn flowers.

Tuesday plans - 6m F2?

Later today, my plans are to go on 10m QRP WSPR and 6m QRP FT8.  Yesterday 8m was good, so there is a chance 6m may have some F2 openings. If it is going to happen (e.g. openings by F2 across the Atlantic) now is probably the best time. It has happened in the past and I recall Ws coming in on 6m by F2  propagation coming in like locals.

Faroe Islands - NOT amateur radio

One of my friends on 365project.org lives in the Faroe Islands high up in the Atlantic between Scotland and Iceland. This is one of his photos.

I imagine there are long summer days and very short days in winter. The weather can be windy as well. It is a place I would like to visit, but doubt this will happen.

Sunspots Tuesday October 22nd

  Solar flux is 164 and the SSN 168. A=5 and K=2.

10m 500mW WSPR (Monday)

My QRP 10m WSPR beacon is on and so far 3 stations have copied me. I suspect these were by F2 propagation.

UPDATE 1358z: Spotted by 51 stations so far today on 500mW 10m WSPR. See table.

UPDATE 1935z:   Spotted by 66 stations today.
