Just returned from a few days in Australia's far north. In contrast to the cold and wet here in Victoria, it was around 26C and very pleasant in the pool.
Each morning I walked along the beach and watched the sun come up.
Our unit had a small outdoor area and naturally I took enough gear to set up a WSPR station. Seen here with a long G&T for scale.
My antenna was far from ideal but I did hear some stations.
The QMX is excellent for this task and I can also recommend the Z-match tuner which can match almost any old bit of wire.

I'm glad you had a good trip Peter, but I am also glad you are back at the controls of the Blogspot to Wordpress conversion. I am in the Dominican Republic now, and one of my first contacts on this trip was with VK6JMS over in the Kimball. Wow, that it my best DX so far. He was on the HCJB SW broadcast antenna, and was probably beaming north. I was on my 1/4 wave fishing pole vertical. I was 55 in VK6. 73 Bill N2CQR
