Swifts gone? - NOT amateur radio
In the last few days we were up near Liverpool staying with a friend on the Wirral. Swifts were visible most days, but they were absent on the last day. I have not spotted any here in East Anglia since we got back yesterday. It is possible they have started their migration to Africa. Most soon leave. There are a few stragglers until September.
See https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/bird-a-z/swift/ .
UPDATE 1655z: I did not realise that some swifts do not migrate from Africa.
UPDATE 0950z Sunday: Lots seen last evening so they have not gone yet!
6m QRP FT8 (Saturday)
 |
| Stations spotting me at 1700z |
10m 500mW WSPR TX (Saturday)
Since mid-morning I have been on 10m WSPR TX. At 1417z, I have been spotted by 9 stations across Europe. These were spotted by 8 stations.
Saturday plans
Later, I shall be on 10m QRP WSPR TX and 6m QRP FT8. I have not yet checked Es conditions in Europe.
I might have a go at mending my 8m dipole and coax.
