Not so good Christmas! In hospital with pneumonia. Still can’t have a drink for New Year!
Hope this isn’t a forewarning for 2026!!!!

Quackers!!

GB7VAX now is on a Static IP. Address is:- 80.229.71.244 Port 7300

GB7VAX will be providing intermittent service on Monday whilst I upgrade to a Static IP,, therefore providing a very reliable service in the future.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

2.5 degrees here Phil. Northerly breeze. Sunny though. Sad thing is,, I’m working outside!

Lots of the smaller country lanes near me were closed due to flooding Phil.

Ah… the “Woodpecker” is back

Thinking of moving ISP to Daisy telecom as they will provide a static IP for the GB7VAX DXCluster. Giving improved reliability and cheaper than EE

Does anyone know of a ham radio use for Alexa??

49:1 Balun for EFHW. I’ve stacked 3x FT240-52 toroids,, Winding is 14SWG enamelled copper. No idea how much RF it will take… hoping for 5-800w.

I like IOTA chasing

What is the IOTA REF?
I worked them yesterday on 12 mtrs

A Westland Merlin 3

A new radio……

Congratulations!!!!!

Yes. Think it’s St.Peter Port

P&O Ventura.

Hi Phil. Hope liberation day went ok. I’m coming to Guernsey on a cruise in July

I’m buying stocks whilst they are low

Interesting Saturday morning…. BARTG HF RTTY… SOAB6 category.

Are there any RPi OS gurus on here????

Let’s hope EE get their act together today and deliver the router. Currently, cluster is on a “spare” router which I had to buy!

I avoid going to give the chance for people who have more serious issues to see a doctor than me.(I also have a needle phobia!)

A UFO???

Not sure Phil. But we are looking into it. It’s been going on for a while.

Looks nice Phil!

The parts are starting to arrive for the ground up rebuild of the GB7VAX DXCluster. All going to be running on the RPi 5.

My interest in RTTY has been realised again!!! Looking for MMTTY macro files now!
