Bracket fungus - NOT amateur radio

We saw this on Monday on a log at Hare Park, Chippenham, near Cambridge.  It is called a bracket fungus and is about 20cm across. It looks like a flat disc.

630m QRP WSPR overnight

My 10mW ERP WSPR from the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground was on again overnight. 21 stations spotted me (see table).

In the last 2 weeks on 630m QRP WSPR, 48 stations have spotted me with the furthermost LA1TN (1305km). It works!!

Sunspots - Wednesday February 14th

Solar flux is 195 and the SSN 122.  A=10 and K=1. 

630m QRP WSPR (Tuesday)

 Yet again I am on 630m WSPR with my 10mW ERP. So far, 7 stations have spotted me.

70cm activity contest SSB (UKAC) - February

Every month I have a go on the 70cm SSB activity contest with my 10W pep and the 2m big-wheel omni antenna. I usually manage a few contacts, but I do stop on long because of my poor voice. I am pretty sure I could work more if I was to stop on longer. The impression I am getting is there is now less SSB activity in this contest. The 70cm FT8 activity contest tomorrow is always busier.

We also saw these swans.
