Nice burn from VK5RBV via MS

Totally non-radio related, but early this morning I was kept awake by the koala's rutting, so went looking to see if I could spot them in the trees at the back of our block. It only took a few minutes and I found a male in a small tree.

Unfortunately he had very bad conjunctivitis, so the koala rescue was called.

He's going to the koala hospital and then will be release here again on Mon or Tue next week.

Remi FK8CP now RST529 on scatter with yagi QTF 90.

And Remi FK8CP CQn again at 2253z.

Remi FK8CP CQn 50.110.600

An interesting morning. 28MHz condx have been superb, with LP open to EU. A number of stations worked with RS59 signals. The most surprising of them was Ralph DK3MH, running just 100w into a magnetic loop antenna. Fantastic to work a small station over the long path.

Whilst 10m was open I monitored 49.750 for TV signals via the LP... not sure why, just did! What I have discovered were some digital and video like signals emanating from a QTF of 120. The following shows one of them with 100Hz sidebands.

And while finishing up a QSO with WP4ONJ a big MS burst of CW on 50.110600MHz... didn't copy who it was as I was wearing the HF headset!
