15m 100mW WSPR (Saturday)

 For a change I am on 15m 100mW WSPR. Lots of spots.

UPDATE 2030z:  19 stations have spotted me. See table. The impression I have is that results with 100mW WSPR are broadly similar to 5W FT8.

6m 2W WSPR (Saturday)

 At about 1442 I QSYed to 6m QRP WSPR.

UPDATE  1447z: Spotted by 2 English stations.

Pathetic attempt

Last evening there was a full moon over our local museum next door. So on maximum zoom, I took a photo of it. It was pathetic! 

In real life the moon looked huge whereas in the photo it looked like a tiny dot!

Sunspots - Saturday January 3rd

 Solar flux is 166 and the SSN 124. A=24 and K=3.

6m 2W WSPR (Friday)

 WSPR is not a mode I widely use on 6m, so I thought I would try it. My gear was turned on at about 1445z.

UPDATE 1456z: Spotted by 2 stations so far, both English.

6m 5W FT8 (Friday)

At about 1422z I QSYed to 6m FT8.

UPDATE 1430z:   Spotted by 2 English stations so far.

Regime change?

If I have understood correctly, the USA president no longer wants the USA to be the world's policeman and is going for a more isolationist position. He is also looking for a "safer" world with fewer conflicts.   

We can all agree on the latter, but I suspect most would seek a world based on freedom and justice for all humankind. It would appear we are moving more towards a world of empires run by powerful rich billionaires.

President Trump's recent statements on Iran seem contradictory. There is little doubt he sees Iran as a threat to world order and stability, but I get the feeling he is really hoping there will be regime change in Iran.

10m 100mW WSPR (Friday)
