Please just shut up

Allegedly, the US secretary of state for peace made a speech at the ceremony celebrating D-Day criticising European immigration.  

This is NOT the place. 

During WW2 the USA 🇺🇸 was a reliable friend. Sadly this cannot be said anymore.

Sunday plans

 Later I shall probably go on 6m 3W FT8 and 10m 200mW WSPR. At some point I may check if the Heathkit HW8 I bought works.

EVs with huge range?

Battery technology is improving year on year with CATL, China's biggest battery manufacturer, working towards batteries that would end "range anxiety" for ever.

Sunspots - Sunday June 7th

 Solar flux is 138 and the SSN 139. A=17 and K=2.

8m FT8 RX (Saturday)

Despite being half the day, not a single station spotted. If this had been 6m or 10m I would have spotted quite a few stations.

Righteous anger?

It would appear US politicians are, more and more, seeking to interfere in European politics, conveniently forgetting that the USA was originally mostly migrants and they have a huge issue with gun deaths.

As was once said (I paraphrase) "look at the plank in your eye first".   

Basically keep out until your own house is in order, and don't lecture us.

Rotten tree

 

This was seen yesterday at nearby Anglesey Abbey. 

It was obviously in danger of falling down.
