My 10mW ERP from the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground was turned on at about 1810z. So far, spotted by one station.
UPDATE 2104z: 3 stations have spotted me.
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.

OFCOM is inviting applications for small scale DAB multiplex licences. See the OFCOM website for further details.
This morning, I am on 40.680MHz FT8 receive. No spots at 1017z.
UPDATE 1252z: No spots today.
With solar conditions promising, I wonder if I shall be spotted in the USA later?
UPDATE 1635z: 15 spots of my extreme 10m WSPR QRP so far.
Yesterday, we went to Ely with a friend who is staying with us.
Solar flux is 227 and the SSN 247. A=4 and K=2.
Are we seeing a second peak?
The following have been notified to me. As I always advise, check before going a long way.
My 500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR beacon has been on again today.
UPDATE 1822z: 15 spots (again) by EA8BFK (2880km).
Today was a definite spotting low over the River Great Ouse.
OFCOM is making changes in its auction for 26GHz and 40GHz spectrum to protect radio telescopes near Cambridge. See the OFCOM website for details.
UPDATE 1642z: ZR1ADI (9777km) in South Africa was the only spot today. I guess this is TEP.
No luck yet today with my 500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR today.
Yesterday there were quite a few spots of my 500uW WSPR by EA8BFK (2880km). The impression I am getting is this ultra low power works on single hop F2 as long as things are settled, but multiple hop F2 is far harder. Based on these results, I am expecting European spots via Es later.
UPDATE 1545z: No spots today.
UPDATE 1618z: I spoke too soon! 3 spots late afternoon from the Canary Islands (again).
Russia invading Ukraine was clearly wrong. What I am unsure about is Russia's intentions afterwards . In the end I suspect some of Ukra...
