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.

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

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.
