10m 2W FT8 (Tuesday)

My system was turned on at about 0845z.

All change weatherwise

Last week we had a big high pressure system and lots of clouds in what they call "anticyclonic gloom". This week we have low pressure, sun and showers.

The photo show Cambridge in a shower.

Later maybe?

As I have my U3A course in Cambridge I shall not be on the radio until later. If I go on I shall probably go on 6m QRP FT8. There is some doubt as we have thunder forecast.

 At 1552z I turned on my 500mW beacon. At first I (again) forgot to turn on the PSU!

 At about 1400z I QSYed to 6m QRP FT8.
