South Devon again - NOT amateur radio

10m QRP WSPR TX
It is very easy to forget (I just did!) that I can go on 10m QRP WSPR TX with my 500mW W5OLF beacon. It has just been turned on at about 0812z.
UPDATE 0850z: 3 spots by OH2FHJ (1721km) I may try 10m FT8.
8m experiment (Wednesday)
At the moment I am on 8m FT8 QRP TX on 40.680 MHz USB dial using the old PC. Interesting that the power has not dropped suggesting the audio from the usual PC may have been dropping over time? No spots.
UPDATE 0851z: No spots. May QSY to 10m FT8 soon.

Perugia is near Assisi.
8m QRP FT8 TX
At the moment (2028z) I am on 40.680 MHz FT8 TX with the "old" Windows PC. So far, no spots.
PC not fixed
My issue seems to be no Internet connection. I have tried most things I know about, but so far no luck. I shall try again tomorrow.
UPDATE 2020z: I am currently on 8m FT8 QRP TX with the "old" Windows PC. So far, no spots.
Little things please little minds - NOT amateur radio
This cartoon that appeared on Facebook today must be very old, but it amused me! The USA has had 2 presidents since.
Minimalist transceiver
This has been on before, although I make no apologies. It was inspired by a 40m design by W2UW (now a SK). My main issue was netting the receiver, although you may have a way of doing this. The rig must still be around somewhere - probably in the loft. As I recall, it needs just 14 parts including a single FET.

Dad's seats - NOT amateur radio
My dad died in 1987 after working for the water board in South Devon for a very long time. Before that he was a plumber and before that a Pathfinder in Lancasters in WW2. he rarely spoke of his war. I think he hated it.
