Weekend project converting an old wine box into a stand for SDR gear. Variable RF attenuator on top, then DC buck converter, LNA, N2EME SDR switch and RSPDX receiver at the bottom all hooked up to SDR console and Yaesu FT897D.

Out celebrating working a new DXCC entity this afternoon...Malawi on 15m FT8 classic grey line propagation. Op in Malawi only 17 years old...fantastic.

Last weekend couldn't get the Winkeyer to work with the FT920...after much messing about last weekend and today I gave up and reached for the radio manual...sorted immediately by connecting the Winkeyer to the rear key socket and flicking the switch next to it..DOH!

Been on CW using N1MM with Winkeyer USB and RSPDX with SDR Console and N2EME switch today and stations were copying me as R4TJJ...after much googling resolved it by setting ,"First character extension" to 50ms. This makes the first character sent a bit longer and not cut off at the start.

Lots of transatlantic CW contacts today in the ARRL 10m contest. The Winkeyer has been a game changer for me getting QSOs...my reading ability is starting to improve as I get tuned into the rhythms of the fast code. Great fun.

Well, after being licensed for 42 years I have my first ever QSO with China confirmed on LOTW from the CQWW CW contest. 100w from a Yaesu FT897 to an EFHW. Chuffed with that.
