Yes, it is a fork of Cloudlog. I don't know the difference between the projects now, but I opted for Wavelog because it had official support for Docker. It seems to me that there is also more active development, but this is a subjective evaluation.

Sure, I'll share the progress and the effect

Yes, I do the mag-loop approach. Here, the system's heart components build a high-voltage capacitor with variable capacitance. Let's see what comes out of it πŸ˜‰

Yes, although it doesn't all fit into one unit. I have ordered additional components to be CNC cut.

No, in my case, it was clearly something with the CW internal key. The problem appeared only when the cable was connected to the Key input. Everything worked as expected in the other modes (phone, digital).

FT-710 issue in CW mode
FT-710 issue in CW mode YouTube video by SP6GSA

Origin post: β€žI'm experiencing an issue with my FT-710 while in CW mode 🫀 These symptoms appeared after I connected the key cable and tested three different cables. I tried restoring the factory settings and reuploading the firmware, but that didn’t resolve the problem. youtu.be/hz_EifweEtk β€ž

I was forced by a glitch that took 10 weeks to fix. However, I finally have them on my desk.

A densely packed series of arcs of light rotating around a point near the top of the image. These are star trails - an effect caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis. The trails cover 18:19 to 06:49 UT on 2-3 January 2025.

So last night was perfect for a long star trails run, with clear sky for most of the night, so that's what I did. I beat my previous time for this type of shot too - this image represents 12 hours 30 minutes of star trails! πŸ˜€ #Astronomy #Astrophotography #SciArt #Space

Further search for a lightweight, simple, and handy CW manipulator to carry. It gets better, but the oceans are growing πŸ˜‰ #hamradio #3dprint #diy #cw #morsecode #cwops

I have often thought that using digital modes in the field can be excessive. However, with the alternative firmware for #X6100 from R1CBU, working with FT4 and FT8 is a joy. There’s no need for extra laptops or tabletsβ€”just a transceiver, and the log is stored on a memory card. #pota #sota #hamradio

Another day with #POTA activations. Three new parks including two activated for the first time in the program. #hamradio #lakes #winter #nature

Today's park activation was in the autumn-winter aura. It was a pleasant, short ride in an area I usually visit during the summertime. #pota #hamradio #xiegu #lake #forest #misty #lopo

Today's #POTA PL-0208 weather conditions were not ideal. The propagation was also weak with my configuration. However, the activation can be considered a success. #hamradio #outdoor

The Lega river is near today’s #POTA activation. This is not how it should be in winter in this region. #nature #river #poland #warmwinter

True, the alternative firmware being developed by R1CBU is a piece of solid work. Xiegu should offer him cooperation 😎

The X6100 is my backup transceiver for outdoor activation. It's a nice radio, especially with alternative firmware from R1CBU. In this case, at my place, the KOMUNICA HF 1 PRO antenna is not outstanding at 40m. Your loop looks interesting. The best antenna is the one we have and can work on πŸ˜‰

Spontaneous activation of #POTA on the night shift. It was cold and wet, so I was in the car, this time only in digital mode. #hamradio #digimode

It's nothing special but opens up the possibility of VHF/UHF mobile operation. #hamradio #antenna #vhfuhf #mobile

Super idea, great performance, excellent quality and parameters. However, if it is to be used as a standalone recorder, this is a major drawback. It is impossible to set the time for the files to be named correctly. #dji #djimic2 #disappointed
