Echolink - SO quiet

My Echolink now works, but I realise why I lost interest. Nobody seems to be on. I tried calling through the most promising repeaters in the UK and overseas before giving up. Nobody answered. 

Famous words - NOT amateur radio


These words are above the entrance to a church in Kingsbridge Devon. Death, the great leveller. 

8m experiment tomorrow

Today, I return home after a few days with my brother. All being well, I hope to be on 8m TX on 40.680 MHz USB dial FT8 tomorrow.

Kingsbridge Devon earlier - NOT amateur radio

 This was about 0645z today. Very calm and tide in. 


Solar data

Early each month, I look forward to the updated information on solar data. My favourite site has not yet updated its data when I looked, but usually does so quite quickly.
