#hamradio I’m now on blue sky … come and follow me and I’ll do likewise. 73.
Still sad news but also quite amazing that the death toll in Jamaica amounted to 4 people. Yes that’s 4 too many, but my word it could have been so so many more.

Any full licence holders changed their call to another full call? If you didn’t already know, you can!

Covid hits me for the second time. Bed bound and feeling very rough. Bit of a sweep of it at work by the looks of it.

Nice to work 10,12 and 15m with the 133ft efhw portable. Great to hear the upper HF bands open. Moving away from doldrums into hopefully a fruitful autumn for HF.

@noaacomms.noaa.gov Hi there I am the editor of an online journal for the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) called RadCom Basics and we are looking to use an image from one of your web pages. Can we confirm if this is possible and how to gain permission? Thank you.

Superb to work @wgoodf.bsky.social on 40 last Friday evening. Much fun comparing an inverted v EFHW with a full sized quarter wave ground mounted vertical.

youtu.be/QnP3GO1Aqv8?... MAGNIFICENT VIDEO 👏👍 You’ll learn more on swr and impedance in 10 minutes than in any other way IMHO.
Why Coax Transmission Line Impedance Changes - Not SWR.
