There was news today of a vaccine partly created using AI. All being well this technique could be used to create a flu vaccine and Covid 19 vaccine that protects even when the virus mutates. On the face of it this is a good thing.
It is also ominous. I think that it means a rogue state could produce a virus that is harmful to certain individuals or certain racial groups.
Welcome to the brave new world! 😒
All good fun, but FT8 is much easier for me.
At the moment I am monitoring 8m FT8. As there are far fewer stations active than 6m, this is harder going.
UPDATE 1400z: Just spots of EA3ERE in Catalonia. I think I'm going back to 6m FT8.
My gear was turned on just after 0800z.
UPDATE 0814z: Spotted by 6 English stations.
UPDATE 1416z: Returned to 6m FT8. Spotted by 9 English stations.
It would appear that Russia is not having it as easy as they once thought it would be.
Militarily Russia should be far superior, but increasingly Ukraine is bringing the war to Russians in Russia.
The interview with Professor Scott Lucas in Eire is revealing.

The photo shows the current set-up.
It is much more likely that any future wars would be very cyber based, with people heavily dependent on the internet for banking, communications and so much these days. Just imagine if we were suddenly without this!
Some countries are way ahead of the UK and USA in preparing for this eventuality.
My advice? Have plenty of cash and tinned food around.
Last night was the 2m FT8 activity contest. Running just 5W it was much easier! Again I was only on for a very short while (less than 30 minutes). The map shows the stations that spotted me.
