What have I been doing today? Reconstructing my old paper logbook so I can put it on a spreadsheet. The logbook has entries between 1989 and 1992 (my first amateur radio session before I returned briefly in 2006) and is mostly legible.

Managed to work OJ0JR on 30m FT8 just now. I've never worked Market Reef before, I had to look it up! Check it out on Google Maps - there's a very weird boundary going on ....

37 new cards from the QSL bureau today. I think this is the nicest one - despite the Comic Sans font on it!

Just found my logbook from 1989 to 1992, when I gave up the hobby first time. About 1,000 entries. Should I put them on a big spreadsheet, what do you reckon? Yes or no?

33 years ago today I bought my "big radio". Wish I still had it, but I sold it in 1996 and spent the money on a weekend in Milan
