It's not a mode for QRP and compromised antennas. But it's really fast.

I had a quick play with FT2. I had to cobble a very compromised antenna, and the 705 on 5 watts, so I didn't have a QSO but I was decoded in Italy. Interesting, more experiments will have to wait until I back at the main QTH. #FT2 #hamradio
No Pi 2W, no GUI, and Hamclock is all it runs, access via it's web server in a browser.

Odd, mine looks OK, and I appreciate that it does not help! Other than the server must be running OK.
In other news, home renovation is going well, looking forward to moving back in in about a month.
A wasp nest, discovered in the corner of my building.
Interesting what you find when you renovate an old building.
Amended the /etc/hosts file on my Pi and Hamclock is back up working.
Pissing down in London, if that helps!
We have some Aferiy power units, a monster than can run the cooker (!) and a smaller one for phone and tablet charging.
Joolz 'reigned' supreme during your absence. I'll be there tomorrow.

House renovation: tomorrow we start decorating. I thought I'd start in the shack...
I have never had a room indoors in my home as a dedicated shack!
Settings - Moderation - Mute: put in all the keywords you want to avoid, People who lived on an island, maybe the man who occupies a big white house, name of a political party...

NO!
We have polluted the land,
We have polluted the oceans,
We have polluted the air.
All for profit ,with no regard for consequences.
We need fewer objects in orbit, not more.
Sad news. Maybe someone will pick it up and continue.
I have Hamclock running 'headless' on a Pi 2W, and accessing it via it's web server. This is working better than expected. #hamclock #raspberrypi #hamradio
Finally got fed up with having to go portable for satellite work. I have bought a small rotator and a 3/5 ele dual band Yagi. I just need to fabricate a bracket so it will point up at the sky. My QTH is obstructed to the East, but mostly OK in other directions. #satellite #amsat #hamradio
My latest video had a lot of feedback. Not everyone liked it. I lost subscribers due to that video. But I also saw a lot of support and gained some Patreon supporters (THANK YOU!)
If you'd like to know my feelings on the situation in the US, I have more here:(saveitforparts.com/2026/01/26/s...)
Hello Gabe. I am sorry that your country has gone to Hell in a hand cart. Your blogpost on the situation is one of the best takes that I have read. You have my full support.
