Batson Creek - NOT amateur radio


This is Batson Creek in Devon. I passed this on my 6 mile walk today. Although giddy I was well pleased I managed it.  Sadly the tide was out! 

Echolink password

 As I was awake early and in bed awaiting others, I thought I should try Echolink again after a break of well over a year. I am using the app on my phone. It asked for my password that I have forgotten and I cannot see how to reset it. Looks like I shall have to give it a miss. 

Seen on Facebook - NOT amateur radio

Devon walk later - NOT amateur radio

After breakfast, I hope to walk to Salcombe along the back lanes. It should take about 1-2 hours.

8m WSPR DX

 ZP4KPX (S. America) has been spotted in Portugal and the UK on 8m weakly on WSPR. If he gets an official permit someone will contact him for a first 8m 2-way, either from Europe or the USA. No idea about his gear.

8m DX QSOs

Both EI2IP and G9PUV have managed USA 8m FT8 QSOs. This was after a lot of hard work and patience.
