I contacted another rare location. Guinea Bissau, an archipelago off Africa. Fun challenge, I need to try working some more of these rare ones. Where I sign up to go on one of these expeditions?

Boom! Got the tiny Bouvet island again. This time worked them on 40 meters along with a big pileup of others. Amazing what 25 watts can do. 😀
While Sacha and the grandchildren were watching a silly, noisy, dinosaur film on television I put my Amateur Radio radio on and had a lot of contacts across Europe on the 60 metre band using FT8.
Three new countries on this band for me - Kosovo, Kazakhstan & Ireland (Co Meath).

QRZ log JO01 and IO91 as the best going south
A few in the log as i was distracted heading to the shower - It is the first Wednesday of the month - forgot about that.

The nearest humans to these these guys on a remote island are astronauts passing over in the space station 250 miles up.
Heard them! Just need to bounce a signal back and forth for the confirmation of a QSO.

Trying to work the most remote radio station on the planet. I heard them, but still working out where to transmit and make the contact. 8,600 miles away on Bouvet Island.
On Wednesday Morning (25/02/2026) Paul G8NRY and Myself M0PJA will be trying to activate Thrybergh Country Park( Parks on the Air (POTA) ) Near Rotherham, South Yorkshire. We expect to be operating on 2m FM, 40m SSB and 20m SSB and maybe #FT8 - this is all weather and health permitting. #hamr #pota
The #fan of the web888 #websdr makes too much noise but I found a Sunon maglev 40x40x10 in the junkbox. This fits perfectly in the web888 and the fan grille protects my fingers also.
Now skimming #FT8 to monitor propagation for ARRL #cw #contest

Took almost 3 weeks to get from 150 to 175 on 12m FT8.
This is after reaching about 180+ on 30m FT8 all of last year.
So the goal is 250 for America's 250th birthday.
Linux bash terminal showing history of flipping the radio to a different antenna for 160m, and turning on the preamp. Or switching back. Also shown, the GUI that shows the current frequency, current antenna port, preamp state, last poll timestamp, last antenna change timestamp.
#HamRadio guy. My #HF system band-hops 160 thru 6meters (10 bands) monitoring #FT8 traffic. On 1 of the bands, the radio needs to change antenna setting. Vibe-coded a python app that queries #flrig for the current frequency & sends command as needed to switch it (pictured).

Does your computer clock have to be super well synchronized to UTC for #FT8 to work? NO!
And I prove it.

Live stream functionality progressing well. Here is a speeded up 51 second video of 5 incoming qso's being displayed on the live stream page of a logged in user. Best viewed in full screen mode #ft4 #ft8 #hamradio digigrids.net

Sometimes it's hard to skip out of the country. West coast really strong. Here are the 2 Hamclocks. The new one and the older classic.
Granted its mostly #ft8 and #pota hunting, I've never received a QSO card. I've also never sent one soo. Haha. #hamradio #amateurradio
QSO with K2TQC using only 1w on FT8
#QRP #FT8
wow,
i forgot to up the power from 1w (had been running WSPR) to 20w and still managed to get a QSO with a US station :) :)
A rope strung across a house connected to curtain rods. Wrapped around the rope is are two metal slinkies, connected together to a coaxial cable.
My radio with a waterfall on screen.
Some #AmateurRadio radio fun this afternoon. Tried out making an antenna out of two metal slinkies.
It worked better than I thought! I was able to make four contacts with FT8!

Almost two weeks to get another 25 points. The easy pickings are gone. Been picking up some African DXpeditions and the Baltics. Haven't got much into Asia yet.
One month into the year, almost matched all of 2025 30m count! :0

#FT8 is the amateur radio version of collecting of baseball cards. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
