Punting on the Cam

The photo shows punts on the River Cam in Cambridge outside King's College. Very relaxing too.

As my 10m antenna is available, I am on 10m QRP WSPR TX with 500mW from my W5OLF beacon. Just local spots so far by G4KPX (14km).

8m experiments (Wednesday)

After a brief FT8 TX period on 40.680 MHz, I am now on RX only as we are
going for a walk. I expect to be on FT8 TX later. So far today, no spots.

OK, I admit it. I am a geek!

This was me in 2013 testing my 481 THz optical kit in the garden. I don't
think the neighbours were looking. 😁
