Plans for today (Monday)
As I am out later, I shall be on 10m FT8 RX. If things look promising I may QSY to 8m QRP FT8 TX on 40.680 MHz.

The museum is run by volunteers and is on of the best local museums in the UK.

CQWW SSB contest
The CW leg is at the end of November. These are 48 hour contests and a good chance to work new stations and countries.
One good thing was this showed my 10m coax plug as intermittent. I have now fixed this and gone on 10m WSPR TX with 500mW from the W5OLF TX WSPR beacon.
The photo shows activity on 10m SSB - busy!! With my poor voice, I find this much harder these days.

Astronomy-Now magazine - NOT amateur radio
Some have even suggested that the planet Earth is a living organism.
There is a magazine for those interested in astronomy. I think this is aimed at those with an interest rather than those professionally involved.
23cm transverter
My transverter is in the UK according to the tracker, but I have not got it yet. When it arrives, I need to check what leads I need for local tests. For UKAC next year, I shall need a better antenna.
