Shack PC fixed!!
In the end I had to reinstall the network drivers. This has totally fixed the issues I had, which were a total inability to connect to the Internet and sync network time.
My thanks go to everyone who tried so hard to help me fix it. It happened after a Windows update. I thought Windows updates were intended to make things better?
6m QRP FT8 TX (Wednesday)
10m QRP FT8
After a little while on full power with the FT817ND, I decided it was too easy on 10m FT8. So, I have now reduced to minimum power (500mW?) and am still making QSOs. Perhaps I should add an external attenuator and try at 1mW 10m FT8?
70cm activity contest reminder

| Stations spotted on 70cm FT8 this evening |
This evening is the 70cm FT8 activity contest. I do not usually submit a score, but usually come on with my QRP and 2m omni big-wheel antenna. I am always surprised how far I can spot.
South Devon again - NOT amateur radio
This photo was taken some years ago and shows Burgh Island from Thurlestone.
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.
