    10m WSPR QRP TX (Wednesday)

    Again, I am on 10m WSPR TX with 500mW from the W5OLF TX WSPR beacon. Yesterday I was spotted by 7 stations including 2 in the USA.
    The table shows the stations spotting me on 10m WSPR on Tuesday.

    After a period on TX (2 local spots) , I am now on 8m FT8 RX only on
    40.680 MHz USB dial.

    After thinking hard, I have decided to make a G3XBM PDF projects scrapbook
    that will be free to download from my website.
    As I make changes to the book these can simply be made. As I make no money
    I cannot imagine any copyright issues, which could be a problem with a
    printed version that is charged for. Some of my designs have appeared in magazines across the world in many languages.
    My aim has always been to collect my ideas for other people and never for commercial gain.
    The scrapbook will be linked from my main website.
    I hope to complete the book by the end of May.

    PI4 versus FT8?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2022 10:15 AM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2022/04/pi4-versus-ft8.html


    Until today, I did not realise that PSKreporter supported PI4, which is a
    mode used by some beacons. What I do not know is the sensitivity of PI4
    versus FT8. If anyone knows, please tell me.
