Apparently, there will be slow scan TV from the International Space Station over the holiday period until January 5th. I have never tried to receive this from the ISS. Maybe I should try?

New QSL card from Antarctica
I have been spotted down there on 10m 500mW WSPR,
My last actual SSB QSO was with 10W SSB with a station on the British base in the 1980s. I think they had a big Rhombic antenna if I recall. It was a very solid QSO.

Made in China - NOT amateur radio
We are all guilty.
My daughter-in-law kindly bought me a bobble hat. A look inside at the label said, "made in China". It seems most things now are made in China!
In the USA, if they slap a tariff on Chinese imports it is inevitable costs for USA consumers will go up i.e. inflation will increase.
If we make goods in the USA or Europe it is inevitable inflation will go up.
I have no idea what the answer is.
Merry Christmas - NOT amateur radio
May I wish everyone a very happy Christmas. The basic lesson is to share kindness. People appreciate kindness, as do we.
The most basic message, whatever your beliefs, is sharing kindness is the most powerful thing in humanity. 🎄🎂🧑🎄
10m QRP FT8 (Wednesday)
My QMX+ has been on since breakfast.
Proud grandparents - NOT amateur radio
Last night our young granddaughter was performing ballet in front of 2 future kings and many famous people at Westminster Abbey.
It was recorded a few weeks ago and on UK ITV1 television last night.
Watch out for YouTube copies.
