Finished CQ WPX RTTY with 1342q, including dupes. Not a bad effort, M/S HP, as GM5G with GM1TGY. We stopped midday Sunday due to other commitments, so we missed the final 12 hours.

That was handy this morning at sunrise after an hour. The ice on the rotator melted enough to get it going again.
February 14, 2026 at 3:24 PM
Conditions suck on the low bands and the rotator is frozen solid.. gonna be one of those weekends

New feature coming to Cloudlog: when you're in the logbook view, you can click Station Diary and add a note, which gets added to the main notes system.

Requested by GW4VXE.

Its CQ WPX RTTY this weekend will be doing M/S HP as GM5G with GM1TGY. Hopefully, we can hold onto Scotland for another year.

Planning to do another stable Cloudlog release next week. Currently testing the dev branch to ensure stability with a few users.

I've dialled in some major speed improvements! DX Spotting might miss this window while we polish the backend, but the dev branch is looking solid.

What happens when I get bored for 10 minutes.. I decided to mock up rsgb website homepage as if it were done using the UK Government GDS style (design-system.service.gov.uk)

Let's be clear, they haven't hired me to redesign it, this was purely for some fun

It's a quiet morning, so I've been reviewing Cloudlogs SQL queries once more, searching for small performance enhancements.

You can tell it was sunny today, the solar lights have come on in the garden

A few major bugs and performance improvements were made to PortablePlanner.com this afternoon.

February 8, 2026 at 11:09 AM

New feature coming to DXChrono DXped table panel its the same info I use in Cloudlog.

Next week’s focus on Cloudlog will be on implementing the Cluster Spotting interface.

This will require users to sign up for a free API key, which we’ll use for authentication and (if needed) abuse prevention.

I had a great #FUNcube design meeting in Felixstowe, UK last weekend. We made lots of progress on #FUNcubePlus, including the ever-evolving interface discussions and some hardware on the table.

That's us on the train from Aberdeen back to Elgin. Bitter cold but a successful trip

Feels like I'm starting a contest shift, but instead getting my sleepy butt ready to go catch the coach to Aberdeen.. so far, no snow here in the village.
