This morning’s 6m opening has quieted down for now.
One new state and grid brings me to 40/215/257.

There are LotW instructions in Português.

Today’s verification of QSOs from 2023 has to be at least the fifth or sixth time the same station has reloaded its logs.

Not complaining, just saying. 😃 With a happy heart.

Don’t you love spam-emails that have an “input the email you wish to unsubscribe” ...
PT Barnum was absolutely right.

Made my first 6m MSK QSO this morning with SE Minnesota.
It took quite a while to complete, but I’m happy to have that mode in the log.
The station on the other end had a MUCH better setup than I (4 X 8 with elevation). He likely had power.

To me, it seems that giving Tuesday after Cyber Monday is poor marketing.

GFCI questions ...
1) Do these circuit breakers get warm even without much load?
2) Does a switching power supply (25A 12VDC) cause an outlet to trigger more often?

Back from cold South Dakota. Worked 3 passes in the cold.
I’ll have them logged in LotW soon. (My fingers work again!)

I hope to be in DN83 tomorrow morning for some passes. Watch me on APRS.

I should have guessed from the name when I duplicated my presence here.
I’ve been blocking blue(.sky) haters the same way I’ve been blocking red(X) haters.

I'm trying to make both places usable for ham radio interests.
I need an app to post in both places.
