It would appear many powerful leaders are ignoring future war crimes prosecutions.
Many of the most potent leaders in the world face possible war crimes and (I think) could face prosecution and imprisonment if they landed in certain countries.
No doubt this would lead to diplomatic incidents but could lead to careful travel planning.
Because of the football, I was on later than usual and then only a short while. 4 stations were worked.
Good fun in the football hydration break!!
My beacon has been on since mid-morning.
UPDATE 2041z: 44 stations have spotted me today. Now QRT.
Long after I retired, I found out lots about him I never knew in my work days. He was a brave man involved in the D-Day landings and was a POW.
He was awarded a medal by the French and died in his 90s. If only I had known years before.
This piece appeared in a newspaper some years ago although I have no idea which one!
Often you really know very little about people: you don't really know what their history was or the pain they are going though now.
I know what we are having for breakfast!
You may recall I bought a much modified HW8 some weeks ago. If I could find my CW key I might use it on TX!
This video is years old. In its day the HW8 was a very good rig.
I bought one already made but later sold it back to the person I bought mine from. It worked plenty of DX despite 2W and low wire antennas.
I judge numbers by the number I see in the sky. It has been rare to look up and not see swifts.
People expected numbers to be down as there are fewer nest sites.
They only stay in the UK for a few months. I hope to see them next May. They are still here at the moment, but one day we'll look up and realise they have gone.
