A week early, the coax for the feed to my 10m dipole has arrived.
Assuming my son can help next week, I have all I need to get this up externally. It should be several dBs better than the indoor loop I am using presently.
Simple QRP projects, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, FT8, 160m, WSPR, LF/MF, sub-9kHz, nanowaves and other random stuff, some not related to amateur radio.

In September old classic Google Sites have to convert to the New Sites or they close. So, I attempted to convert my old site, but this attempt failed. This may be finger trouble and I shall try again. Why is it that things get worse? When I tried to convert it insisted in showing me my website from 2018 - why?!!
"If it ain't broke don't fix it".
Oh yes!! Like Picasa going and so much else. Why is it that so many things get worse over time and not better?
If all else fails I may revert to my Virgin Media webspace under www.g3xbm.co.uk .
Also, some time ago, Google tried to get all bloggers to use their new editing tool for blogs. This was fine on my PC, but it was sooooo SLOW on a phone it was unusable. They have since fixed it.
The "attempt" at site conversion was dreadful!!
UPDATE 1525z: It appears I am not alone having issues. I may just create a totally new site in New Google Sites as I have several months.
It looks like I can do this on Google New Sites with embedding. For now, I have a temporary page.
On our visit to Anglesey Abbey after lunch we heard one.
They often lay a single egg in a reed warbler's nest. I suspect the one we heard was beside the water. It was very clear.

Before long, I would like to add a grabber on my website to show the stations I am spotting on 10m FT8. The page is already there, but I don''t yet know how to do this! 😁
As a PC novice this has to be really, really simple. Steve G1KQH is also after the answer.
If you know a very easy way to do this, please let me know!
What I really want is to be able to show the PSKreporter map screen that I can see.

At the moment, the grabs are being manually uploaded.
At 0555z I turned on my 10m FT8 RX with the tiny indoor loop antenna. The 10FT8R RX is again being used. No spots yet.
UPDATE 0906z: 3 spots so far today with the best OZ (Denmark).
UPDATE 1520z: 42 stations spotted so far today with the 10FT8R 10m FT8 RX on the tiny indoor loop. See https://sites.google.com/site/g3xbmqrp3/10grab .
One of the things as a runner of a blog I can see is how many visitors I get each day. Basically these numbers are unreliable! Yesterday, ...
