A couple of weeks back I've had a #telegraphy QSO in #morsecode with the Cap San Diego in #Hamburg. It is a cargo ship from the early 1960s that has been turned into a museum. In its radio operation room a group of former maritime radio operators have set up a amateur radio station.
In the QSO I've been invited so today I paid a visit to the ship and the station. (1/2)

@quixoticgeek Porthcurno museum of telecoms and telegraphy, in the old Cable & Wireless technical college. Bit out of your way but well worth a visit if you’re ever in the area.

Pardon the noise! 🚧 I decided it was time for a hard reset. I’ve wiped the slate clean and am rebuilding the site (https://dg5cw.darc.de/) from the ground up. 'Morse News' is already live, but the rest is currently under construction. Stay tuned—things are going to be changing fast...

Today it was time for another park activation. Conditions allowed for a few park to park QSOs. After working Europe on the 14Mhz band I switched to 21Mhz and got some nice gray-line DX contacts to the US and Canada.
After one and a half hours at 2°C I called it a day.
The total of 37 contacts in SSB and CW making this a very successful activation!

According to the infoboards the wavelengths used at Clifden varied over the years. They were controlled and licensed by the Post Office in consultation with the Admiralty, to avoid conflict with Royal Navy ships and coastal stations. Clifden station was originally licensed in 1907 to use a wavelength of 2,750 metres (109kHZ). However this wave proved to be too short for practical use. ⬇️
