My 500mW TX beacon was turned on at about 0900z.
UPDATE 1204z: 3 unique stations spotted.

Continuing 8m ISM tests (Monday)
This morning I am continuing my 10mW ERP 8m WSPR tests simulating ISM rules.
UPDATE 2050z: G4WSZ (11km) has spotted my 8m WSPR 10mW ERP 88 times. I am disappointed that nobody else either managed to copy or did not try. I shall leave the 10mW ERP beacon on (0900-2300z) until Wednesday bedtime.
Snow - NOT amateur radio
Last night we had the most snow this year. This morning a very kind neighbour cleared our drive. I guess we have about 3cm of snow

Plans for tomorrow
Starting tomorrow morning after breakfast my intention is to go on 10m QRP WSPR TX (500mW) with my W5OLF beacon and continue my 10mW ERP 8m WSPR beacon local tests.
Oscar 100 - still very quiet
Every few weeks I take a peek at activity on this geosynchronous satellite. Activity remains low, even on a late afternoon in Europe at a weekend. The photo shows activity on the narrowband transponder. In my view, this satellite is, sadly, a failure.
Shetland Islands (again) - NOT amateur radio
10m QRP WSPR TX (Sunday)
Once again I am on 10m WSPR TX with my 500mW W5OLF beacon. It is now 1103z and spots have been received from EA8 , 9H1 and OH, presumably by F2.
UPDATE 2230z: 12 unique stations spotted me today on 10m QRP WSPR TX.
Repeating local 10mW ERP 8m local tests
As someone missed my recent local ISM 8m tests, I am repeating them again with the WSPR signal appearing at 40.6815 MHz.
The callsign at 10mW ERP will be 8M3ISM.
UPDATE 1050z: The 10mW ERP 8m WSPR beacon is ON again. No spots yet.
UPDATE 1620z: G4WSZ (11km) has spotted my QRP 10mW ERP many times. He is using a low 6m dipole.
