10m 200mW WSPR TX (Tuesday)

My beacon was turned on briefly at breakfast time.

UPDATE 1432z: No spots. About to change back from 10m FT8 RX to 10m 200mW WSPR TX.

UPDATE 1541z: So far, spotted by just 2 stations in the Canary Islands multiple times.

UPDATE 1919z: Spotted by 3 stations with the best PP5ZX (10058km). QRT soon.

Trump and Iran

I think most western nations see Iran as a potential threat. However, it would appear, allegedly, that the US president did not realise what he was getting in to. Like many, I do not know how this will end.

10m 2.5W FT8 (Tuesday)

After a very brief period on TX I am RX only.

UPDATE 1355z: 225 stations spotted. See map.

Nice surprise

Yesterday the post contained a nice surprise. 

It was a small package that I was not expecting and I had no idea what was inside. 

On opening it, I saw this which I was not expecting at all. They sent me a certificate and I thought that was it.

 Thank you GQRP Club so much.

Genes

Opinions vary over what happens to the essential “us” when we die. Many religions believe in some sort of afterlife, but we really don’t know.

What we do know is that is that our genes get passed down the generations. We probably have some sort of connection with our ancestors millions of years ago.

Cambridge Botanic Garden

 

This is owned by the University of Cambridge. 

It is very large and has some amazing plants and trees.

Heathkits

In the past Heathkit produced some great QRP CW transceivers. 

The HW7 a QRP HF transceiver was produced first, then the HW8 (which I owned) and finally the HW9.
