This site is a working lashup of some ideas to advance the state of the logbook art, and create something more like a scrapbook. It won't be for every QSO, but it should add a dimension for those rarer and more cherished encounters. Comments and suggestions please - email address on the G8CYK qrz page.

The excellent VOACAP Online shows the prevailing conditions....

From the SDR waterfall at the start of the QSO around 15:45. A lot of random atmospheric noise and QSB. Signal level touching S9

 

Around 16:15 and the skip was moving West so reception at G8CYK improved considerably
