Sunday plans

Getting the optical gear working 

As today looks dull and wet, these are my plans :

  • Email G4BAO to set up a sked on 23cm SSB.  Email written and sent.
  • Try to get the optical gear working. All gear assembled. Spectran installed. 
  • Go on 10m FT8 daytime. RX on morning. Off late morning.
  • Go on 630m WSPR RX this evening. Went on late morning. 
Doing anything these days is so much harder. After getting my 481 THz gear together I feel exhausted. I cannot remember how I interfaced from the optical RX to the PC. I must find out. It was 10 years ago!!

I may try a local CW test after dark this evening bouncing off a wall about 200m away - small steps.
