Cloudlogs' new DX Cluster Band Map is now in the dev branch; this is what I always wanted it to be! Outstanding job is clicking on a spot QSYs the radio, but I am happy with the progress so far

DXChrono now has an EME Information panel and shows the moon's location www.dxchrono.com

Cloudlog v2.7.2 is now available for download in the stable master branch github.com/magicbug/Clo... It's rolling out to Cloudlog Hosted customers right now

Suns out at dufftown station but it's not feeling overly warm.. Lots of noise on 40m but had a good stint on 15m.

📣It's Railways on the Air🚂 this coming weekend! 👀Look for us operating from the Keith and Dufftown Railway (The Whisky Line) heritage railway as GB2KDR on HF both SSB & Digital (40/20/15/10m).

NCDXF Beacon function now added to DXChrono

ADIF Spec 3.1.6 has been approved. You can read about the changes at adif.org.uk/316/ADIF_316... The next Cloudlog release will have full support for it.

Very cool to see WSJT-X 3.0 has Cloudlog support baked right in :)

@wgoodf.bsky.social You dug out your big coat, see there's some weather coming :p

DX Chrono can now show the last 25 QSOs from your Cloudlog logbook in real time. the callsign and band text can be turned on for the markers in the configuration menu

DX Chrono now supports showing Cloudlog logbook stats in a little panel that can be moved around. Not in your face, just tastefully displayed data.

DX Chrono (The official name of my visualisation tool) can now show VHF Conditions

I'm looking for some beta testers, this runs in the web browser, no real requirements apart from large monitor/tv and a web browser. DM me.

Visualisation of the Aurora was a top-mentioned item, so it now has it.

Timezone highlights looking pretty darn sweet

Okay we have propagation information!

I may have got a little bored, and as I really don't like how HamClock looks, I started developing my own (kinda) It's more for going on the TV at @Charlie1tgy's shack, just need to implement adding Cloudlog & Finish DX Spots so they can appear :)

Cloudlog 2.7.1 is now available for downloading github.com/magicbug/Clo...

I'm fairly strict when it comes to adding things to Cloudlog purely because I don't want it to become bloated. However, a few people asked nicely for the most worked callsigns feature, so it's coming and with filtering.

UK independent space agency scrapped to cut costs www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cloudlog 2.7.0 has been released github.com/magicbug/Clo... If you're a Cloudlog-hosted customer, it's currently rolling out across the system.

adsb antenna support which was on the back of the sky dish has completely bent over

First casualty of the storm.. 80m Inverted L fibreglass pole split in two.

It's a two-release week for Cloudlog, stable 2.6.22, with minor fixes to QRZ.com functions, LoTW, and the introduction of a new API call. See the code for more info github.com/magicbug/Clo...

Found a recording of me working M0XXT over the weekend as GM5G.. I think it's fair to say at GM1TGYs station, I don't think we will live stream.. probably a tad too spicy language wise :p www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKzy...

Just released a small Cloudlog update 2.6.21, which has some LoTW improvements - Handle TEVEL2-3 satellite QSOs to ARRL LoTW - Enhanced LoTW mode mapping with extensive digital mode support (Fixes some issues with EME modes) You can grab it from github.com/magicbug/Clo...

I see some are wanting to add yet another pointless field to the ADIF spec Description: indicates whether the contacted station is or is not an Authenticity Guaranteed member of eQSL groups.io/g/adifdev/me...

The ARISS Ops team is aware that the APRS radio (145.825 MHz) is off-line. We'll share updates when available.

Remember it's the IOTA Contest this weekend, make sure to find GM5G and give us a point :-)

Just worked DF2ET/MM (Gridsquare: JN21HK / distance: 1171.8 mi) on SO-124 🛰️ in yet another new gridsquare! #hamr #cloudlog #amsat

If you are a satellite operator and have not filed an objection against AST SpaceMobile's request to use 70cm, it's time to get busy. There's still time. Don't just sit waiting for other organisations to do it on your behalf. amsat-uk.org/2025/06/26/u...

I mean if that isn't good user feedback on PortablePlanner.com I dont know what is! :) Looking forward to working you later @kconkas.bsky.social from a new square :)

Big news! I've launched the official landing page for Zenith Satellite Tracker. You can now explore its capabilities directly on the web, even without dedicated hardware support. Check it out: zenithtracker.org

I've been working on code to optimise the rotator path for each satellite pass to make the most of the 450-degree azimuth. Quite impressed its working too

Cool to see PortablePlanner.com get a mention in the REF magazine

figuring out how to share my satellite pass recordings online.. yes that figures are correct its a lot of hours with the new ground station :D

Pretty sure that isn't meant to happen.

The Grampian Hilltoppers will be activating GB2KDR from Dufftown Station, part of the Keith & Dufftown Heritage Railway, for International Museums Weekends on 📅 21–22 & 28–29 June. Operating on HF (SSB & Digital) and Satellites 🚂📡 🔗 www.qrz.com/db/GB2KDR

🎉🥳Cloudlog 2.6.19 — Released June 11, 2025 You can find out more at github.com/magicbug/Clo...

I'm a bit late to the party, regarding the WPX SSB Contest results, we took #1 in Scotland M/S HP.

Last weekend, I (GM5G) took part in the ARRL International Digi Contest. Although conditions seemed poor, especially on the higher bands, we still managed to log some nice DX. We ended up with 647Q for the whole time, and certainly felt at times that the activity was low.

This weekend we (aka GM1TGY & myself) are going to partake in the ARRL Digital Contest, hopefully band conditions aren't too dire.

RS-44 with a max elevation of 14 degrees over the Atlantic sounding good just worked VA7LM, WA3YDZ, WO3T, N8HI, W8LR/R and K3SZH all on SSB :) #hamr #amsat
