Tea?

[classic33]

Just out to test my skis...

How'd you get to the top?

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Morning all
Windy Woo at the homestead this morning

How'd you get to the top?

Strolled up...saved the skiing for coming down...
The guy at the end? just a stunt double.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

His or yours!
Not the "grey hour" you mentioned earlier...
Sheffield or further afield?
Mein Gott! Yours is better than mine.
You still believing them there forecasters...
Best o'luck, and don't forget to ask for yer lollie for being brave.

MUF is currently 12 Mhz betweeh his and mine...
4 hours to get to 24 plus...
Gott im himmel..
Thing about those comics, poor Tommy was always getting shot or something

Owdo
Calm and sunny! here. See how long it'll last.
Thought you might have flown, then crashed yer plane near the summit, walking the last few hundred yards. Always easier ski downhill than uphill, especially if it's steep.
Stunt double, you don't do yer own stunts?

The pair of you are getting close, will contact be made today, the last Friday of the month.
How long before you're both on the same frequency, if it'll happen...
Jahwol, and they were always getting caught as well. Almost as though the other side knew where to find them...
You seen what they cost and look like nowadays?

Well, the world doesn't want to see the human being I am
Sunny, breezy and earlier .2 mm of rain

Green is for 10 MHz (30m), and Wine is 24 MHz (12m). If it were 10 MHz, I'd be able to make the contact...
24 MHz? Looking not likely, these others were made by FT8 data, but the same applies to voice contacts, I've been here watching the waterfall (which covers 50 kHz of 24 MHz band and all I see is FT8 signals

This is at 14.30 approx

I'm the red station, DM5 is the blue and that is the program I use, SP (short path) maximum useable frequency for that is 22mhz, if I click on the amber between the black vertical lines it told me 84% it could work. It didn't, lower in the band he heard a Portuguese station at 59 Good signal) but I only heard it give out part of his call CT2 and so weak I couldn't get the last three letters, different for everyone. I dropped down to 7 mhz and answered a M5 call from the Norfolk area, but there was too much fade; ironically, he was using 700 watts, me? 50 at most...
oh well, coffee time. Two voice contacts, one German and one from the land of poor Tommy..I'll take that.
I'll come back in a couple of days and delete all the images to save bandwidth..

You don't want to be recognised when yer out and about having brekkie?
It was dry until shortly before 12:00, then the heavens opened. Rain, hail, sleet and snow in parts, before it turned back to rain. 0ver a 1/4 inch at least in that short period.

Thought you were further west than that map shows.
A fair few out to the east today, I see. No contact today either? It seems to know you're wanting to make contact and won't let you.

Sorta figured out from the picture, and what you've said, that you were the one in Scotland.
Can't those programs work only on predictions not actual realtime data. Or it can, but it'd cost more.
14 times the power yer using, wonder what his setup is like.
Couldn't you call Norfolk from the phone. Should get you a clear signal.
Coffee in home, in the peace and quiet... Contact was made then, on time?
Leave that last one for when I've to refer back to it.

Not the same using the phone.
The program is getting the data live from somewhere as it changes every 15 mins?
All sorts of atmospheric / solar weather / other weather data are free.
NOAA Space Weather and NASA publish data constantly....

Globe map is a bit all over the place, hard to find any free mapping online now, I'm midway between Glasgow and Edinburgh, 6 miles south of Stirling....

Had a few heavy bursts of rain but dry now but temp dropping again.
Evening night and maybe a chilled drink or two...

I know its not the same. Unless you take to dialling random numbers and hope for an answer.
Nearest I can think of for a phone.
Not what I thought, from that last picture. Seems to be giving a prediction, hours in front. How accurate are the updates on conditions?
Can understand if it were predicting possible solar flare/CME interruptions. Which source do you find the most reliable over all. Or is it one for this, one for the other and you make a guess from what's in front of you.

Doesn't leave you much room to move east on that one. That'd put you roughly where I thought you'd said, halfway between the two.

Did you get any hail or sleet? We'd that brief period of around 20 minutes where we seem to get the lot, precipitation wise. Maybe you got what we had here.
Clear skies mean it'll be dropping, but nothing below 4C forecast.
You put yer feet up, enjoy yer peace and quiet with yer chilled drink...

Ho ho ho
Just practising, it's not Christmas day.........yet.
Enjoy your weekend

You still hankering after yer old holiday camp.
Nearly December though! So keep up with yer practicing, if you want to convince the three youngest.
Well it's damp out there, not raining though.

The MUF (Maximum Useable Frequency)forecasts will be from an American source, good places to get this kind of infos from. As now, it is up at 21 Mhz, which is promising. I use HamDXMap (compiled by a French Ham)
For Aurora? Aurorawatch as it's taking readings from Sumburgh Head and posted hourly, app has popups if needed.
The other Brit one is a bit hit and miss, but there are many factors which determine forecasts, solar wind speed and how much of a direct hit to the planet, and obviously the strength of the flare. The previous one I mentioned has readings of conditions constantly.

.8 mm rain, most likely a heavy shower before I fell out of my pit...
Sunny out and 5c, been to the place where your back pocket rattles with savings money.
Package back to the big river place....
The Toodles and mum will be here at some point, I'm enjoying the quiet whilst I can....

Yer not tied to the one, possibly two, place(s) for yer info then. And not just one country either. CME's and solar flares I expect they give a worse case scenario.
Makes it a better collection of sources.

Just damp outside, most of it in the air. Meaning snow is on the way, if it cools a few degrees more.
You don't get shaken awake each morning!
Overcast here, with the threat of rain in the air. Wonder if it'll come to anything...
Always found that advert odd, as I don't know many who carry loose change in their back pockets, and notes don't rattle. Anything interesting seen, given that Black Friday is nearing its end.
Another one headed out your way to restore the balance of one being returned.
Toodles on her own today. Your day shouldn't be too tiring if she's on her own. Especially if mum is there. Enjoy the peace and quiet...

Had a listen in case I heard my German buddy but nothing but did hear someone from the Persian Gulf, but never took the chance to try, as everybody arrived at the same time, heard Spanish and a couple of Italians.
Moved down to 18 Mhz and caught a German while I had worked before on the usual data modes 7 years ago; he treated me like an old friend, so a quick chat, then off back to data.
All quiet now, Mrs M off to the big city on the west to pick up youngest Mhor, meanwhile I starve.
Cropped my straggly-looking hair the other night, now sneezing like a banshee.
I may have to wing it food-wise....could have a liquid tea

Short chat or quick exchange of words planned if contact were made. The persian gulf be onboard one of the rigs.
Sounds as though yer being drawn to talking to others, from simple! data exchanges. You can differentiate between Italian and Spanish accents?
He surprised to hear from you, you reckon, after seven years with nada between you...
Clean the cupboards out whilst she's out. When she asks, just say you were peckish...
A night of staying quiet, so as not to disturb the youngest. Can't believe she left to starve though...
You cropping yer hair and sneezing like a Banshee(Do Banshee's sneeze?) related you reckon. Less on top keeping you warm...
Liquid tea been had, before being caught.
I'd have wung/winged it if I were you.
