Managed to work Don G3XTT as 5X1DF on 12m FT8 this morning.
Not an easy one, as i couldn't see callers, so wasn't sure where to transmit, but I did get through in the end

A short session on 10m FT8 this afternoon was good into west coast USA. Good strong signals both ways into NV, CA, WA, ND, CO etc, but east coast stations were only just workable.

Ooh, that's been a chilly day. Temp hovered around 7C all day, which in itself isn't that bad, but add a Force 7 northerly breeze, it has felt much colder 🥶

We started the day with a light shower, but since around 8am, it's actually been very pleasant. Some sunshine, light cloud, although the temp only reached 16C. Looks set to be similar tomorrow too.... 👍
However, looks like Storm Claudia wasn't very kind to parts of the mainland 🌧🌫☔️

Radcom arrived today....
Oooh, look who's pictured at the top left of p23.... 👍
And a look at the letters page didn't disappoint in terms of a face-palm.
A real pity that this subject hasn't been shut down

Notwithstanding the high Kp index this morning, 10 and 12m were buzzing. Some good DX around too.... 9L, TL, 5V and more.
Even saw some G's trying to work VK on 6m.

Hmmm... a US station called me on 10m FT8, but i worked him last month, so i sent QSO B4.
He sent NOT IN LOG.
OK, I look at my log, and it's confirmed on #LoTW.
Sent B4 again. He then sends me an email saying I'm not in his log. I reply that it's already confirmed.
"Oh, SRI, wrong band" he says

Spent a good bit of this afternoon setting up a new Win11Pro box. Oh boy, it isn't as intuitive as Win10....
Took me ages to put a shortcut on the desktop 🤨
Still puzzling over networking it to the shack PC

Very happy to get 6O3T on 20m FT8 earlier. It wasn't easy, with many calling, but also high QRN at their end too

Bit of fun on the bands this morning. Played on 30m for a bit, then worked loads of JA's on 15m.
Saw 6O3T spotted on 10m... got them 1st call. Had a look at 15m, and yay! got them there as well. That's 2 new slots for me 👌

Managed to get a half hour of shack time this afternoon, and 10m was buzzing into the mid west USA. Seems like I was a new one for many too

Well, that was a big surprise this morning...
E6AD really strong on 10m FT8, so got that for a new slot, and my 30m FT4 contract has shown up in the online log.
Also had a nice run of JA's on 10m this morning

Had to smile....
Working on 30m FT8, and SU0ERA is on 2nd period, with loads of callers.
Then I see M0LUX call him on the 2nd period 🤔
Surely he can see the dozens calling him on the 1st period?
And he kept calling, even when SU0ERA had gone QRT 😒

Anyone else on here not in the online log for a 15m Superfox QSO from Friday morning 10th Oct?
I'm positive that my QSO was good (got the RR73) so just wondering if the log isn't yet complete

Really enjoyed the RSGB Convention lecture by Neil Smith G4DBN this morning.
Well worth watching later, once it's on the YT channel.
Also worth watching Neil's own YT channel 👍
