Really?
Presldent Trump has made some bold claims about the US economy. These have been fact checked by the BBC.
See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz6yg15lpw9t
Some would appear to be incorrect.
Is it only me, but I have come across not one person (absolutely no-one at all, really) outside of the USA that has a good word to say about the leaders of the USA currently. To many they appear brash and arrogant. This is sad as I have always found Americans kind and generous. Yet very many voted for Mr Trump. What he does in the USA i cannot comment on, but I can express my personal views as an outsider.
6m 2W FT8 (Wednesday)
My gear was turned on after breakfast.
UPDATE 1540z: 15 stations spotting me with plenty in mainland Europe.
10m 200mW WSPR (Wednesday)

10m 200mW WSPR (Monday)
My 10m WSPR beacon was turned on at about 1510z.
UPDATE 1815z: So far, spotted by 43 stations. See table. See Map from WSPRrocks by Phil VK7JJ.
QRP radio
I am a great QRP fan. This video may inspire you. Without any amplification on RX I expect the RX is deaf, so best not call CQ, but answer other people's calls.
Iran
Events are moving very fast. This was written at 1012z on January 13th, so events may already have changed when you read this.
At the moment Donald Trump has threatened intervention, but not carried this out. It is clear that lots of Iranian people are deeply upset with, amongst other things, inflation that is making some foods totally too costly for many. If there was to be a revolution, there is no clear leader emerging. As I write we wait and see.
UPDATE 1631z: Trump promises protesters help is on the way. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj691w2e840t.
