Yes, it is a fork of Cloudlog. I don't know the difference between the projects now, but I opted for Wavelog because it had official support for Docker. It seems to me that there is also more active development, but this is a subjective evaluation.

In case anyone missed or didn't know about the interesting #Wavelog project. A few days ago, version 2.0 was released on the project's first anniversary. github.com/wavelog/wave...

Release Version 2.0 · wavelog/wavelog

Dear Wavelog Community Today is a very special day. Not only are we releasing version 2.0, but Wavelog is also celebrating its first anniversary. Exactly one year ago — on February 1st, 2024 — our ...

Sure, I'll share the progress and the effect

Greg SP6GSA @sp6gsa.com · Jan 28

Yes, I do the mag-loop approach. Here, the system's heart components build a high-voltage capacitor with variable capacitance. Let's see what comes out of it 😉

Greg SP6GSA @sp6gsa.com · Jan 28

Yes, although it doesn't all fit into one unit. I have ordered additional components to be CNC cut.

Another experimental construction project is on the horizon. #hamradio #diy #experiments

No, in my case, it was clearly something with the CW internal key. The problem appeared only when the cable was connected to the Key input. Everything worked as expected in the other modes (phone, digital).

The key is Begali Magnetic Traveller Light.

Origin post: „I'm experiencing an issue with my FT-710 while in CW mode 🫤 These symptoms appeared after I connected the key cable and tested three different cables. I tried restoring the factory settings and reuploading the firmware, but that didn’t resolve the problem. youtu.be/hz_EifweEtk „

I was forced by a glitch that took 10 weeks to fix. However, I finally have them on my desk.

So last night was perfect for a long star trails run, with clear sky for most of the night, so that's what I did. I beat my previous time for this type of shot too - this image represents 12 hours 30 minutes of star trails! 😀 #Astronomy #Astrophotography #SciArt #Space

A densely packed series of arcs of light rotating around a point near the top of the image. These are star trails - an effect caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis. The trails cover 18:19 to 06:49 UT on 2-3 January 2025.

Further search for a lightweight, simple, and handy CW manipulator to carry. It gets better, but the oceans are growing 😉 #hamradio #3dprint #diy #cw #morsecode #cwops

I have often thought that using digital modes in the field can be excessive. However, with the alternative firmware for #X6100 from R1CBU, working with FT4 and FT8 is a joy. There’s no need for extra laptops or tablets—just a transceiver, and the log is stored on a memory card. #pota #sota #hamradio

Embracing the beauty of nature brings us peace and tranquility. #lake #nature #calm

Another day with #POTA activations. Three new parks including two activated for the first time in the program. #hamradio #lakes #winter #nature

Greg SP6GSA @sp6gsa.com · Dec 26

Today's park activation was in the autumn-winter aura. It was a pleasant, short ride in an area I usually visit during the summertime. #pota #hamradio #xiegu #lake #forest #misty #lopo

Greg SP6GSA @sp6gsa.com · Dec 23

Today's #POTA PL-0208 weather conditions were not ideal. The propagation was also weak with my configuration. However, the activation can be considered a success. #hamradio #outdoor

Greg SP6GSA @sp6gsa.com · Dec 23

Thank you, Bernhard. Wishing you all the best, and have a happy New Year!

Greg SP6GSA @sp6gsa.com · Dec 23

The Lega river is near today’s #POTA activation. This is not how it should be in winter in this region. #nature #river #poland #warmwinter

Greg SP6GSA @sp6gsa.com · Dec 23

True, the alternative firmware being developed by R1CBU is a piece of solid work. Xiegu should offer him cooperation 😎
