A Day of Activity

It was grey and overcast here in the south of the UK yesterday so a good day to play radio.

It was Railways on the Air weekend so there were a number of special event stations to work. I managed to get 13 stations in the logbook.

I spent some time during the evening working JT65 on 20M.

The above is a snapshot of my screen showing an hour's activity during the evening. For this mode, I use my Kenwood TS2000 running into an M0CVO HW-40HP antenna. This system works really well on all bands from 40m through to 10m with the internal ATU on the TS2000.

JT65 is my preferred data mode at the moment. It supports long distance working with low power I get called by the type of DX that I could never work using SSB.
