Amateur radio op, mainly digital modes, often on FT8, but also participate in RTTY contests. Prefer LoTW for confirmation 👍

Just a heads-up for any followers....
I do not want anything political. If you post politics, or religion, you'll be unfollowed and/or blocked

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

We have certain reasons for not liking how it's run...
A long story, and I'll tell you why some time.....

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

I didn't pay attention to that at the time as I'm not a fan of that program, so I don't bother nothing such things

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

Not interested shack at present, but I'm sure it's on QRZ

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

So true....
How did we ever have time to go to work 🤔

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

Nice one 👍

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

If you say so.... others may have differing views 🤣

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

See... it's a sign that you're old 😉

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

Trust me, it's a faint memory, and I now have to make copious notes or I can forget where I was going....
I've gone upstairs before, got to the top, then wondered what I was doing

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

I'd have got it down to one page, and put that in the bin

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

Ah, I remember work..... 🤭😉

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

That sounds like fun..... not! 😵‍💫
Should have played radio, it's more fun 😁

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 1d

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 👌

But also back in the day when the total number of submitted logs for CQWW RTTY was in the hundreds

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 2d

My best was during CQWW RTTY many years ago.
Heard them on 80m, but with a big pileup. I called, and the reply was "QRX, only the GU pls".
Oh yes! Made my day

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 2d

Should have gone for it....

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 2d

Not overly surprised as its been a while since it was last active.
Nice one to get though 👌

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 2d

I got a match too. Been a while since I worked HC8 before that

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 2d

I've just done the same...
Updated last Friday, and not yet had a chance to do anything with it. Need to get all my work and programs across from the old machine

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 5d

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

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 5d

Peeing down here, occasionally very heavy, and quite breezy too....
Enjoy the fine weather while you can Chris

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 7d

Pleased to work 5K0UA San Andrès on 12m FT8. That was the last band I needed that entity on, so well happy 😊

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 7d

Not a lot of choice here, so it had to be online

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 7d

Oh, we've all done silly things, but most of us quickly realise and correct it.

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 7d

I also got Antoine 3D2AG, although I have worked him before... it showed as a new slot, but wasn't.
I also saw Fred G4BWP work E6AD

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 7d

I've been hoping to get E6 on 10/12m, but until this morning, I haven't been able to hear him at all, so very surprised to hear him at -06 and even more surprised to get him 1st call....
Didn't expect that.
Just need 12m now
