6m QRP FT8 (Tuesday)
My 2.5W FT8 to the V2000 vertical antenna is on, but just 5 English spots so far.

My 500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR beacon has been on all day. I suspect conditions are not good enough.
UPDATE 1354z: No spots.
630m QRP WSPR overnight
An average session last night with 8 stations spotting my 10mW ERP (measured) WSPR from the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground with no DX.

What is reality? - NOT amateur radio
Recently I attended a University of the Third Age series of lectures given by an ex-professor at King's College, London.
One of the things he said was people had modelled how people see. Our brain "sees" an interpretation of reality. When fed with true reality, it led to societies collapsing!! Perhaps it is better not to see the whole truth!
10m 500uW WSPR (Monday)
As for the last few weeks, I am on 10m WSPR with my 500uW beacon. Yesterday was quite successful and conditions today look promising. No spots yet though.
UPDATE 1212z: 5 spots so far today.
