Not a lot of radio today- even though i had the afternoon off; just the one FT8 with 5R8XX in the log on 17m (so much Madagascar just now) and a new station from the ISS pass - new square if he uses LOTW.
Nighty night!

普通にSSBに乗せて電波出しますので、7メガ以下ならLSB、それ以上はUSBの帯域幅です。
私はFT8と同じくPCからUSB経由で信号入れてます。

Well that I do not know- it was 9hrs ago.
The Kp just now is a bit over 2 and the higher bands have certainly started closing for me. Did just work 5R on 17m ft8.
20m FT8 at greyline I have one HZ station on the screen, the rest Euro.

Hmmm... a US station called me on 10m FT8, but i worked him last month, so i sent QSO B4.
He sent NOT IN LOG.
OK, I look at my log, and it's confirmed on #LoTW.
Sent B4 again. He then sends me an email saying I'm not in his log. I reply that it's already confirmed.
"Oh, SRI, wrong band" he says

Very happy to get 6O3T on 20m FT8 earlier. It wasn't easy, with many calling, but also high QRN at their end too

Well, if i have to get up early for work and i will be too knackered to much of anything CQWWSSB when i get back, then i will certainly take this as a consolation. ATNO for me.

I made a few 6m ft8 with the ft690 by hacking into the mic.

Hey... the cheap Chinese 6m box did it in the end!
The last dribs and drabs of the ft8 contacts came through.
I needed 25 grids at the start of SpE season when i switched to QRP.
F8BON just confirmed bringing me to a modest 300 and a new sticker.
Hail QRP!

Well, that was a big surprise this morning...
E6AD really strong on 10m FT8, so got that for a new slot, and my 30m FT4 contract has shown up in the online log.
Also had a nice run of JA's on 10m this morning

I should be working, instead of trying to get 2m FT8 DX.

It is nice when the trop map aligns.
As it it, not the biggest and best, but over 500km, so i will take that as a bit of mini DX in the absence of anything else.
A new square for 2m FT8.

I worked E6AD twice this morning on 15m FT8, before breakfast on normal mode and after breakfast on superfox just for the hell of it. Around 9am but they didn't seem to stay on SF mode for long, they were a good signal.
