Try something new: talk to the surrounding people ;)

Basically 6/4, 2/70 different radios and antennas

Was hoping for something to do on 2ft8 but only got 3 new grids. Started to reconfigure the setup for parallel RX with 2 rigs.

We'll try, I let you know where I am.

We should try 160 during CQWW SSB.

High bands are lousy

ei8kd @ei8kd.bsky.social · 17d

I see some SSB setting. Watch out for LX25 on some bands if you need that DXCC.

ACK. Using OSMAnd for guidance when in foreign towns, it really drains the battery. I'm happy with my FR and use it for any type of sport recording (and hiking/walking). Any other smartwatch will do the same, just a matter of being able to export data as GPX.
