31 FT8/4 QSOs, 7 phone QSOs with 4 P2P. Was hoping for more phone contacts but my hands were getting too cold to stay. Overall pretty good for my first solo POTA activation!

I’m #OffTheAir for a while. Needed to un- #HamRadio the office so I can disassemble the shack, remove the bulkhead SO-239s from the exterior wall, fill & patch, repaint, & shoot realtor photos.

I MIGHT set up the HF station out here in the back yard shed, where I’ve moved my day-job computer to […]

Somehow through that disturbed ionosphere a wormhole opened and I got my first contact with Australia, 5W FT8 on 20m with a λ/4 vertical. #hamradio #ft8 #spaceweather

I contacted another rare location. Guinea Bissau, an archipelago off Africa. Fun challenge, I need to try working some more of these rare ones. Where I sign up to go on one of these expeditions?

Boom! Got the tiny Bouvet island again. This time worked them on 40 meters along with a big pileup of others. Amazing what 25 watts can do. 😀

While Sacha and the grandchildren were watching a silly, noisy, dinosaur film on television I put my Amateur Radio radio on and had a lot of contacts across Europe on the 60 metre band using FT8.
Three new countries on this band for me - Kosovo, Kazakhstan & Ireland (Co Meath).

The nearest humans to these these guys on a remote island are astronauts passing over in the space station 250 miles up.

Heard them!  Just need to bounce a signal back and forth for the confirmation of a QSO.

Trying to work the most remote radio station on the planet. I heard them, but still working out where to transmit and make the contact. 8,600 miles away on Bouvet Island.

On Wednesday Morning (25/02/2026) Paul G8NRY and Myself M0PJA will be trying to activate Thrybergh Country Park( Parks on the Air (POTA) ) Near Rotherham, South Yorkshire. We expect to be operating on 2m FM, 40m SSB and 20m SSB and maybe #FT8 - this is all weather and health permitting. #hamr #pota

The #fan of the web888 #websdr makes too much noise but I found a Sunon maglev 40x40x10 in the junkbox. This fits perfectly in the web888 and the fan grille protects my fingers also.
Now skimming #FT8 to monitor propagation for ARRL #cw #contest

Took almost 3 weeks to get from 150 to 175 on 12m FT8.

This is after reaching about 180+ on 30m FT8 all of last year.

So the goal is 250 for America's 250th birthday.

#HamRadio guy. My #HF system band-hops 160 thru 6meters (10 bands) monitoring #FT8 traffic. On 1 of the bands, the radio needs to change antenna setting. Vibe-coded a python app that queries #flrig for the current frequency & sends command as needed to switch it (pictured).

Does your computer clock have to be super well synchronized to UTC for #FT8 to work? NO!

And I prove it.

Some #AmateurRadio radio fun this afternoon. Tried out making an antenna out of two metal slinkies.

It worked better than I thought! I was able to make four contacts with FT8!

Almost two weeks to get another 25 points. The easy pickings are gone. Been picking up some African DXpeditions and the Baltics. Haven't got much into Asia yet.

One month into the year, almost matched all of 2025 30m count! :0
