BBC weather rant time.
Today the BBC was saying the clouds would burn back and we would have sunshine and light cloud as they are saying right now!!! 😉 It has been full cloud all day. I know BBC weather is a joke, but I object to my money being wasted on super-computers when looking out the window is free and just as good!!
Rant over. I feel better 😁😉

My 8m FT8 was turned on at 1145z. I am on 40.680 MHz (DF about 1950 Hz, TX in first period).
UPDATE 1900z: No spots all day.

Our own windmill next door has free entry all weekend.
My 500mW 10m WSPR beacon was turned on at about 1145z.
UPDATE 1545z: No spots.
UPDATE 1634z: No sure if it is just that propagation has at last been possible or they have just come on, but my 10m signal is being received in the Canary Islands.
UPDATE 1814z: 4 unique stations have spotted me including 2 by Es.
The plan is to walk to nearby Wicken Fen, have a snack and a drink and walk back. Will we see any Konik ponies, swallows or even a kingfisher?
8m QRP FT8 later (40.680 (TX first, DF about 1950 Hz)) and QRP 10m WSPR TX with the 500mW beacon. All later, after a walk.
We had a couple last night. They were delicious.
