Nice, I think they've swapped to the standard F/H mode now.

I picked up 15m SSB earlier today but didn't manage to break the pileup for 20m SSB and I'm still looking for 15m CW. I've now got a HamClock running on a Pi in the shack and it's really useful for an instant glance of what propagation is doing.

They finish tomorrow and I've stopped hunting now. I've got 19 slots!

VP6WR in Pitcairn Island is active now. I woke up this morning, drifted into the shack, switched the HamClock screen on and as I've got him in as a watched callsign, he was showing highlighted in red.

Turned the wireless on, tuned the SteppIR to 20m and saw he was very, very strong running multiple FT8 streams, it looked like MSHV with no special messages so rather than assume he was only working stations above 1000 Hz, I called below him and made the contact very quickly for ATNO #305.

Now just managed on 10m as well, that took a bit longer as he wasn't especially strong and just two streams. This time, it looked like full FH mode so I was calling up high.
 
Did anyone do anything for CQ WW this weekend? Conditions were generally decent and 10m was heaving all weekend, although I only made 70 or so contacts on 10m. I was concentrating on a semi-casual entry on 15m where I managed around 500 QSOs, 107 countries and 32 zones.
 
Four new band slots on 30m today, one this morning before work and three just now, one after the other. I'm quite pleased with this.

Is anyone else still playing radio? We're at the peak of cycle 25, surely I'm not the only one still on the wireless?
