I've only got around another 7 weeks to go Phil 😀

Bouvet on CW is just manic. I've been busy at work so haven't been able to put much effort in.

I have the same problem with Mexico.

It's odd isn't it, I worked T8OK on FT8 x2 bands and CW on another band easily.

This is an AI generated fake.

Well done both, I doubt I will work them on 12m as my antenna is a compromise, have them on 17/15/10m FT8. A cw contact would be nice but I'm looking at the >25kHz pile up on 20m and thinking it will be impossible!

Soz, life etc.

They won't, I had that on 15m, had to work them again another day. I did work T8OK on FT8 & CW today for a new country.

Why the surprise? Human males have nipples.

We were discussing this at home last week as we now have a boy dog instead of a girl dog.

I got an O365 update on 3 subsequent days last week. I predict that your floppy and auto save options will disappear shortly when the update reaches you.

Good point Robin 👍

Look forward to seeing it. The problem I have is that we have a very complex macro driven spreadsheet for pricing deals. Often I want to open a version, turn off auto save, make a change to see the effect on the margin. Undo is turned off by the macros so I can't just revert changes. ☹️

It can't. Today my client, whose system we developed which went live on Monday, decided to be economical with the truth about some minor issues (we fixed the important ones). It would not surprise you to know who the client is but I can't name them 😉

I don't have a save button, Microsoft has stolen it.

Today I found that Microsoft has removed the Save button and the option to turn off auto save in Office. I am bereft, and confused. Approximately 7 weeks before I retire!

Who has worked 3Y0K, Bouvet? I did easily today on 17m FT8 with a dipole at 13m high (and about 900W!)

Very nice

🤣

You cool vibe coding dude 🤣

I did something very similar using Google Gemini. It seemed to work.

There was the real one and a pirate.

Lucky!

Ha ha, yes they probably do but some would call me Mr Pain in the Bum

Last night I saw they were on 40m FT8 but I couldn't copy them so I went to watch TV. I popped back to the shack and saw my first decode from them, called them three times and worked them. They then faded into the noise again. Right time right place has been a mantra for this dxped.

Meant to finish on Tuesday. I have 6 FT8 and 4 CW contacts with them 😃

One of my Raspberry Pi's stopped working. I determined that the SSD that it boots from was at fault. Fortunately simply unplugging the SSD and plugging it back in fixed the problem.

Most tariffs here (but not those that Robin is on) are tied to the wholesale price of gas so we don't see a benefit of renewables. Ridiculous situation.

Economies of scale, makes sense to me. BTW I know said vicar, lovely chap.

For anyone who hasn't worked KP5/NP3VI on Desecheo Island they are currently the strongest I have heard them on 21.090 MHz FT8. Calling high around 3000 Hz works, I just worked them on 3197 Hz.
