    New website ready soon (this week?)

    Posted: 03 May 2021 03:29 AM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/05/new-website-ready-soon-this-week.html


    As mentioned yesterday, I am working on a new Googles Sites website. All
    being well, it will "go live" later this week. You will still point to www.g3xbm.co.uk and it will automatically take you to the new pages when
    they are ready. Most pages have been done, but some remain to be done.
    The main difference is pages will be accessed via drop-down menus at the
    top of the home page rather than the index on the left. It allows some new features including embedding, so my 10m FT8 grabber will be there too. I
    may be able to use this feature for other things as well.
    All being well, there will be some new pages too.

    10m FT8 RX with the 10FT8R

    Posted: 03 May 2021 02:29 PM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/05/10m-ft8-rx-with-10ft8r.html


    It is now 0948z. I have been on RX for about 25 minutes using the 10m
    10FT8R receiver with the tiny indoor loop antenna. So far, just OM0ALE (1431km) spotted.
    UPDATE 1014z: Now more stations being received by Es.
    UPDATE 1129z: 10 stations received today so far using the 10FT8R RX and
    the tiny indoor loop antenna.
    UPDATE 1547z: 20 stations spotted so far today. The 10FT8R seems to work
    well, even with the tiny indoor loop.
    UPDATE 2128z: 47 stations spotted today on 10m FT8 RX with the 10FT8R and
    the tiny indoor loop.

    Updated solar data

    Posted: 03 May 2021 01:34 AM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/05/updated-solar-data.html


    If you are like me you will be keen to see the latest solar data. My
    favourite site (solan) for solar data has been updated. Numbers have been increased yet again. Hopeful signs. I have no idea what the latest peak
    will look like.
    See https://www.solen.info/solar/ .
    UPDATE 0834z: At the moment this solar cycle looks very similar to the
    last one.
