2025-01-01 15:32:32g7kse@mastodon.radio1Success!This is perhaps a bit of a cheat for but I thought I'd use it to explain it a bit.Idea pinched from Peter Saville who designed the Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures album cover (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unknown_Pleasures). Which featured a recording of a pulsar. We now have 'joy plots' which can be used for maps...or QSL cards. There are lots of online tools to create these.So I have actually sent this design to be printed and I'll have to start using them. Design, print and use is ok?HC01S
2025-01-07 13:04:47g7kse@mastodon.radio2Progress update...Currently monitoring NCDXF beacons using Faros (https://www.dxatlas.com/Faros/) on mrs g7kse's computer whilst she's at work.OH2B, CS3B, 4U1UN, RR90 all clear with rubbish antenna at home.Going to try later with er novel setup 😉 @hamchallengeHC02
2025-01-08 15:33:28g7kse@mastodon.radio2Progress update...The NCDXF beacon thing continues. Some beacons heard where I've never heard signals before at my QTH HC02
2025-01-11 11:13:32g7kse@mastodon.radio2Success!I'm going to say that NCDXF week has been a success. Seems that I'm going to the rig at the wrong time. Lots of areas I'd not thought of as open, are actually open. Tomorrow and Sunday will be hit and miss but all in all #hamchallange has been ace so far. Next week is going to be tricky though HC02S
2025-01-13 18:06:49g7kse@mastodon.radio3Progress update...Struggling with HC03 this week. Strong winds mean antennas are down. Going to have to see if I can get on 80m or 160m some other way
2025-01-15 22:44:19g7kse@mastodon.radio3Success!I'm going to count this as a success. 1285 miles on 80m RW1F. Would have preferred to get a few extra but club shack was extra busy and I only got a few minutes with the rig.I'll be doing SWL'ing on 160m to complete the 2 bands. I'll have to use the club shack a bit more. The location and antennas are way better than mine.HC03S@hamchallenge
