    Progress

    As mentioned in an earlier post, I am working on a new website. Things are progressing well so the new pages could be up soon. All the old stuff
    should be there plus some new stuff.
    For creating "all new" sites Google Sites is very user friendly. It is a
    pity that just migrating classic sites is appallingly bad.

    10m FT8 receive (Sunday)

    Posted: 02 May 2021 02:28 PM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/05/10m-ft8-receive-sunday.html


    This morning I turned on my 10FT8R 10m FT8 RX with the tiny indoor loop.
    UPDATE 1258z: So far just G3YMW (19km) spotted. I can't wait to get
    my "proper" antenna up.
    UPDATE 2007z: Now 93 stations spotted with furthermost PU4JLV (9202km). If
    you saw this antenna you would laugh.

    UPDATE 2122z: 105 stations spotted today on 10m FT8 with the 10FT8R 4 transistor RX. and the tiny indoor loop. Imagine what another 6dB could do!

    Main website changing

    As mentioned yesterday, my website has to move to the new Google sites by September. A simple migration did not work! It insisted on being 2018.
    Instead, I have decided to create an all new site, hopefully with all the
    old stuff retained and possibly new stuff added too. I am sticking with
    Google sites. As soon as the new site is ready, I shall swap over.
    As the date is some way off, this gives me time. It was time for a refresh anyway! 😁

    10m FT8 RX yesterday

    Posted: 02 May 2021 01:41 AM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/05/10m-ft8-rx-yesterday.html


    Yesterday I was again on 10m FT8 RX with the 10FT8R and the tiny indoor
    loop. Some Es evident to Italy and the Balearic Isles.

    Someone in the USA has suggested a small improvement to the audio stages of
    the 10FT8R following CAD analysis. I shall try this later.
