A string of 001s, all lovely and all wanting my WAB. So if you are after WV47... 😇

Not that I will say where I am, obvs

#CQWPX log submitted. Though I expect my claimed score will drop as I had an awful lot of 001s were I expect logs won't be submitted.

Well... HF aerial is still up, but flapping around, unsurprisingly. VHF/UHF is unimpressed and wobbling quite a lot indeed. Starlink... Not moving at all. I wonder if it'll be so stoic when the big winds hit. #StormCiaran

So far... VHF/UHF still up HF still up Starlink still up Solar heating panel... Having a little rest against the house 🤣 #StormCiaran

With me shuttling back and forth I've had no time for radio. However, today I'm trying to tidy my study and started leafing through the immaculate FT-726 manual. I might give it a miss 😏 The days are long gone where I could read Japanese at a useful rate.

I'm not sure I could afford the electricity for 1000 watts 🤣 essexham.co.uk/licence-change…

Does this make me a *proper* radio ham? Obviously not a lot of historical dataz yet. We all have to start somewhere. wow.metoffice.gov.uk/observations/d…

Whilst I was doing my nekked bathroom clean this morning two gentleman knocked on the door and asked my lodger if he was a radio ham. He said no, obviously, but that I was and... presumably said I was busy - cleaning said bathroom. So if it was one of you lot, say now!

I'm deeply saddened to learn that MU0FAL, aka L'eptit Colin 🇬🇬 🇫🇷 🇺🇦 🐀, is now SK. He will be missed be so many and I shall miss someone I considered a good friend and, of course, our occasional rag chews via CW.

Successful CW Sark #SOTA ☀️🛥️

M6BWA (on VHF) and M0JLA (probably 40m/20m) are about to do #SOTA activation from Le Moulin in Sark. I hope some of you manage to work them, but be quick as they have lunch booked!
