This morning I turned on my 10FT8R 10m FT8 RX with the tiny indoor loop.
UPDATE 1258z: So far just G3YMW (19km) spotted. I can't wait to get my "proper" antenna up.
As mentioned yesterday, my website has to move to the new Google sites by September. A simple migration did not work! It insisted on being 2018.
Instead, I have decided to create an all new site, hopefully with all the old stuff retained and possibly new stuff added too. I am sticking with Google sites. As soon as the new site is ready, I shall swap over.
As the date is some way off, this gives me time. It was time for a refresh anyway! 😁
Someone in the USA has suggested a small improvement to the audio stages of the 10FT8R following CAD analysis. I shall try this later.
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.
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 .
Recently in my SPAM folder I received this. The important thing is these scammers have a way of detecting passwords. So have unique passwords and ones that are hard to crack and change them often. Should you receive anything beware!!
"I am aware $$$$$$ (password hidden but visible in the original SPAM to me) is one of your pass. Lets get directly to the point. Not a single person has compensated me to check about you. You may not know me and you are most likely thinking why you are getting this email?
Well, i actually placed a malware on the adult videos (pornography) web-site and there's more, you visited this web site to have fun (you know what i mean). When you were watching video clips, your web browser started out working as a Remote control Desktop with a key logger which provided me accessibility to your screen and also webcam. after that, my software collected every one of your contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, as well as e-mail. after that i created a video. 1st part displays the video you were viewing (you have a fine taste rofl), and second part shows the recording of your web cam, and it is u.
You get two different options. Why dont we take a look at the options in details:
1st alternative is to ignore this e-mail. in such a case, i will send out your very own video clip to all your contacts and then consider concerning the humiliation you will see. and definitely if you are in a romantic relationship, just how it will certainly affect?
Second option would be to compensate me $2743. Lets refer to it as a donation. Then, i most certainly will straightaway erase your video. You could keep daily life like this never happened and you would never hear back again from me.
You will make the payment through Bitcoin (if you don't know this, search 'how to buy bitcoin' in Google search engine).

rs2s [case sensitive copy and paste it]
in case you are curious about going to the authorities, well, this email cannot be traced back to me. I have taken care of my actions. i am not trying to charge a fee very much, i would like to be compensated. in order to make the payment if i do not get the bitcoin, i will definately send your video to all of your contacts including relatives, coworkers, and so forth. Having said that, if i receive the payment, i will destroy the video immediately. If you want evidence, reply Yup! & i will send out your video recording to your 11 friends. it is a nonnegotiable offer, therefore don't waste my personal time & yours by responding to this email message."
