Thanks to swift action by our caretaker Gail and good site services from Hebrides.net, our ISP, we now have internet back up at the cottage and the log book is back to being real-time!
The internet at the cottage has stopped working, well more precisely we have hit our 20GB limit. We don’t think this was all us but for now the online log will not be updating as frequently as usual. We can increase the limit and we will look at this on Monday 10th.
We will post an update when this is resolved

How much soap!
At 16:30 UTC M1BXF made contact with OX/N0RC via the AO-51 satellite to put the 5000th QSO in the log, at the actual time of writing we have 5070. This total includes the activation from the Monach Islands. Unique entries, i.e. callsign vs band vs mode is 4811 so that is only 259 duplicates!
No guesses who has the highest duplicates! Comments? 🙂
As I write we are working stations on 50.144MHz SSB – please give us a call!
As lunch time on Saturday approaches, we have to bid farewell to two of the group who have to be back in Cambridge next week. Geoff G0DDX and Adam G1UAF have headed off to the ferry. Tomorrow, Martin G3ZAY heads off as well, but soon we hope to have Voi G0BOE joining us.
The obligatory group shot in front of Flossie – left to right
back row: Lawrence M0LCM, Martin G3ZAY, Geoff G0DDX, Rob M0VFC, Colin G4ERO and Mark M0MJH.
front row: Gavin M1BXF, Adam G1UAF and Terry G3VFC.
Currently 4597 QSOs in the log and a Magners (cider) in hand. Adam G1UAF and Geoff G0DDX have just left for home.
We are about to start playing on the higher HF bands, 18MHz and 21MHz are the targets.

Rob M0VFC and Gavin M1BXF are planning a reasonably early starts tomorrow (Saturday 8th). Bands we will likely operate are 40m or 20m (depending on conditions) plus 6m and 4m. Keep an eye on Mike G7VJRs DXLite cluster for where we end up.
