I worked Martnique in the mobile and Australia from the home station today.
My last dx contact that was out of the ordinary was Congo.
That made my dxcc up to 232
Not bad for a wire out in the air.

Been really enjoying the EFHW antenna for sure! I'm coloring the markers by band now, 'cause that seems way more interesting. I'm especially happy to get Nova Scotia this weekend!

We were out today activating POTA site IE-0228 from the National Botanic Gardens.
It was a lovely Sunday radio outing, and as far as we know it was the first ever POTA activation from the Botanic Gardens.
Thanks to Daniel McDowell EI8ICB and @tdr112 EI7IRB for taking part, and thanks as well to South Dublin Radio Club for their net.
Portable radio, fresh air, and a few nice contacts along the way. Hard to complain about that.

Funny, I just wrote a blog post about a problem I was having writing this app and then realize I should probably share what the app is! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
The app is a ๐ space weather app for amateur radio enthusiasts trying to better understand radio propagation. It is aimed at newly licensed hams, but it is fascinating to learn about the topics my self!
Let me know what you think.

I'm working on an educational app for #amateurradio. In it I have visualizations for different factors that affect radio signal propogation.
My AI agents hit a quality plateau. Prompt tweaks weren't helping.
The problem? My agent was anchored to MY understanding of the domain, reflecting my blind spots back at me. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Here's how I got through it:
