Looking forward to the ARRL 10m Contest this weekend, will be doing M/S with GM1TGY as GM5G.. hopefully hold onto #1 Scotland :p

Cloudlog 2.8.2 has now been released Public/Open Registration, Control over Award visibility and some general speed improvements. github.com/magicbug/Clo...

Given how little I use Mastodon I've deleted my accounts on the platform. its interesting but not for me.

I've increased the number of days of backups we store for Cloudlog Managed. This is because I've had one account whose backups got corrupted.

Think I am at the stage where I can do another stable Cloudlog release tomorrow, bringing some new features and interface tweaks.

Not a busy RS-44 pass but worked K0JM, WT8D and WA3YDZ.

FT Challenge was tough going condition's definitely not as good as last year but still had fun doing multi op as GM5G. Roll on ARRL 10m next weekend.

Pro tip: don't take your bed time sleeping meds at dinner time

I was going to push a stable release of Cloudlog, however, I think I am going to hold off until next week to wrap a few extra things up

Fun RS-44 pass worked K0JM, WB8PFZ, WD5GRW, WA3YDZ on a very low pass :)

A new open-registration option has been added to Cloudlog. Administrators of self-hosted instances can enable this to allow users to create their own accounts. This feature will not be available to Cloudlog Managed customers.

I have hit that point in the day where I am wondering what project I could build next, I mean, I am not short of stuff to maintain :)

To help clean up the Awards dropdown in Cloudlog, you will soon be able to go into Award settings and turn off the awards you aren't interested in.

This coming weekend

Windy and hailstorm, even the Freesat signal decided it couldn't handle it anymore.

Cloudlog 2.8.1 is now available at github.com/magicbug/Clo... This update brings a new backup and restore tool, and lots of little minor tweaks.

Coding along with soundcloud.com/fredagain/vi...

I have now added the tools in backup that each user can access to download their logbooks, locations and associated QSOs in Cloudlog. You'll get an exported zip containing a json file that includes everything.

Yet another user reporting QRZ Logbook ADIF weirdness this time the lotw_qslrdate is just populated with zeros. <lotw_qslrdate:8>00000000 Its almost like they forgot to read the specification.

This has bothered me for some time with Cloudlog label generation that the callsign needed to be larger and bold. This has now been fixed in the dev branch!

Out of interest, is anyone taking part in the FT Challenge, which is the first weekend in December 6-7 We (Charlie GM1TGY & I) took part last year in the multi op category and came 4th in the World and #1 in Europe, so it would be nice to improve on that.

Few bug fixes done already in the Cloudlog dev branch, also just fixed a couple of bugs with dxchrono.com

Cloudlog 2.8.0 is now available with multi-user logbook sharing, improved dx cluster tools and other minor fixes read the release info at github.com/magicbug/Clo...

Had to put the heating up a bit it's -2°C house was feeling chilly

Coming soon to Cloudlog, you will be able to share a logbook with other users of your setup. enabling collaborative logging for clubs, multi-operator stations, and other group environments.

Sleety snow at the moment.. holding off from doing mid day dog walk

Looks like Cloudflare has problems, its affecting some of the magicbug services

In the next release of Cloudlog you will be able to switch between Live logging of QSOs and Post Logging just by clicking the badge next to QSO. Saves having an extra option in the top menu!

Can report no snow

Working on the DX Cluster page in Cloudlog it now checks if you have worked the person before and also if its a new country on the spotted band and overall :)

Really fun day on the LEO satellites today, especially working KE9AJ in New Mexico (DM65AS) via RS-44.

Coming soon to Cloudlog.. Monthly Report generators it can even output a json file that you can feed into your favourite AI tool to generate automatic blog posts or even reports to @timkirby.bsky.social for PW reports!

Cloudlog Statistics page is getting an update

Working on my LORA digipeater for at home, its running a LilyGo t-beam connected to a V-2000 vertical with a bit of LMR240 (1m of it), so reasonably low loss. lora-aprs.live

Seem to have done my hips in building IKEA flatpack yesterday can barely stand/bend.

Checks the latest Radcom last words .. yep still bitching.. moving on.

Very high elevation RS-44 pass but worked 8 stations even a couple of new callsigns for me at least.

Cloudlog Managed Services are now returning to normal

Currently the cloudlog managed servers are down while data centre provider carries out maintenance. They have said everything should be back up by 11:30 UTC

🚀 Cloudlog v2.7.7 is live! 🚀 Logbook management just got a huge boost! You can now bulk edit Station Locations and Satellite Assignments in the Advanced Logbook. Plus, better SimpleFLE handling for satellite rovers github.com/magicbug/Clo...

Coming to Cloudlog Advanced Logbook, you will be able to bulk change QSOs to a different Station Location if you made a hiccup

Extending the FLE Simple Logging Satellite support in Cloudlog you can now just type QSOs in like sat ao-7 U/V 1234 g0abi IO80BU 1236 g0iiq IO93VN and the QSOs will be saved as sat QSOs.

Sleep time

All ready for tomorrow, have to hope propagation holds it together, looks like a reasonable chance of Aurora.

Its the UK & EI DX Contest (SSB) this weekend (www.ukeicc.com/dx-contest-r...) and as i enjoy punishing my already broken body, I shall be taking part with GM1TGY multi-op as GM5G Please get on air and work us, if your in the UK you send the district code along with a serial.

That's it for another year. GM5G M/S HIgh Power.

An unexpected entry into tonight's rsgb 80m ssb contest worked 121q with dupes with the new callsign

RARE SIGHT: GBRf 'Michael Portillo' Class 66 at Boat of Garten www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQr... For those who aren't scared to admit they love trains :-)
