Hmm, there&#39;s 100% something wrong with my #adsb monitoring setup. I&#39;m on the flightpath to Farnborough and lots of other flights too. This should have been chock-full of flights. Wonder why, I hadn&#39;t checked this for a long time.

In this very hot weather this summer, I&#39;m really being tempted by the inflatable kayaks...

Grabbed a couple of Simon Stålenhag art books from the library, wow they&#39;re gorgeous.

It is time to close my account on Reddit. Not only it&#39;s a toxic place, it&#39;s only concern is to sell our input as AI slop. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/08/reddit-ceo-on-ai-overviews-were-still-looking-for-that-win-win/

Reasonable start on #17m #FT8 - 11 contacts in half an hour while I was also browsing Mastodon and catching up with the bad news. (There&#39;s almost never any good news, it wouldn&#39;t be newsworthy). Powerful signals from USA, got California and Arizona in the log today.

Yeah, the last thing I need in my terminal is an &quot;AI-native ‘agentic operating system’ that sits a level above OSes&quot; living in my tmux-replacement. Screen was too good for these idiots. #LostThePlot https://www.theregister.com/devops/2026/07/31/dev-who-gave-hashicorp-its-name-returns-with-a-faster-terminal-multiplexer/5281970

I&#39;ve completely wasted today away.

RSGB&#39;s exam analysis for 2025 PDF was an interesting read. Once more the amount of M/F ratio in the hobby is truly shocking. Also the age of the new entrants is quite shocking. An interesting read was the analysis on frequently wrong questions, I would like to do a more deep down into that personally, but the document wasn&#39;t very helpful - I&#39;d have to somehow find out all 2025 full questions and cross-check and I&#39;m not sure if that data i available in a suitabl...

The study is too hot and humid. The garden is too hot and humid. The kitchen is too hot and humid. Eurgh. I hate this new normal.

18MHz is quite disappointing today. I'm just casually checking the screen between meetings but it's pretty crap. Went down to 14MHz for a while earlier in the morning, it was busy, even with 50W I couldn't get a message edgeways and I don't like that so went back up to 18MHz for some peace and quiet. 8 QSOs between 05:50-08:19UTC. 3 on 17m, 5 on 20.

There&#39;s an awful amount of AI generated amateur radio slop lately. What really surprises me is the blogs and toots here. Trying to build a ham cred with slop? Why? What&#39;s the point?

Hmm, moved the Meshcore repeater to my study, next to the radios, on top of a metal cabinet, it shouldn&#39;t hear a thing, but it does. I don&#39;t see my own messages in the Public channel though, but receiving adverts and messages for now.

Yup. Looks like the reason my Meshcore node sprung to life is a station popping up in nearby Sherborne St John. This reliance of repeaters will be the downfall of Meshcore. If everyone was a repeater like Meshstatic, I&#39;m sure I would have been able to join the wide network earlier.

Calling CQ on 80m FT8, but the band is closing. My 20m end fed is not working well, I guess after three years it&#39;s time to replace the cable.
