Slow but good

Activation Reports
1

I was awake at 0300 this morning, so thought I might as well bag a pre-dawn activation of The Cloud G/SP-015. I couldn’t decided whether to go for 40m, 30m or 20m but finally opted for the latter as I parked up on Cloudside.

I operated from 0500 to 0720z and made just five QSOs! One on 20m FT8, one on 20m CW and three on 20m FT4. The first three were pretty satisfying though - PT2OP (Brazil) on FT8, A65IN (United Arab Emirates) on FT4, then T6AA (Afghanistan) on CW.

Ultimately I got fed up of the cold temperature, packed up and rushed down to the warmth of my car.

The bloke on the left in the check suit and bowler hat was in Pointless last week. I hadn’t heard of that band either.

How do you rate the MiniProSC @M1EYP?

Was thinking about getting another data cable/interface for the FT-817, presumably the same cable would work with the FT-857 too?

Yes, it does, I’ve done SSTV on both with that cable.

It’s really good. Much more “Plug and play” than the Wolphilink interface I had before. Regularly wkg /P on FT4, FT8, JT65, PSK31, PSK63, MSK144 and SSTV with it.

Hoping to add JS8 and RTTY to the repertoire soon!
