10m 200mW WSPR (Saturday)

As mentioned before, I left my beacon running overnight.

UPDATE 1353z:  So far today, spotted by 108 stations, most via Es. Best DX are spots in the Canary Is..

Meal out

Most months a group of old work colleagues meet up at a different pub in the area for a meal. 

Most of us are now retired.

Salcombe, Devon, UK

As a child I lived in Salcombe, Devon and had no idea then how lucky I was. It is a beautiful seaside town in South Devon. My brother still lives in the area, so I go back most years.

Nighttime Es

As an experiment I left my 200mW 10m WSPR beacon  running through the night, suitably supervised. It would appear that Es was there through the night with regular spots from Central Europe when sensible people were asleep.

Safer EV batteries?

Fires in EV batteries are very rare. 

Nonetheless China has made fires in batteries illegal by law, meaning EV batteries will be even safer. This increases costs slightly, but probably means the take-up of EVs could be greater.

Seasonal photobooks

Every season my wife makes a photobook as well as photobooks for special occasions. 

GQRP SPRAT

Many times before I have mentioned how much I enjoy the magazine SPRAT. 

As I have said before,  if I had to give up every other amateur radio magazine, SPRAT would be the one I'd keep. 

Back issues are available on a CF stick that represents incredible value.

GQRP membership costs are very modest.

Sunspots - Saturday July 11th

Help please!!

My shack PC runs Windows 10 and has a log-in password. Even though it is connected it insists it is not and is asking me to log-in some other way. How do I do that?
