===== Mon 10 July 2023 =====

  * A catch up from yesterday to begin.
  * Two periods of activity today, early evening on 30m and 40m, and later on 60m and 30m.
  * Rig : 7200 
  * Using full 100W today - condx. seem a bit variable, especially at this northern latitude. 
  * Some Auroral sounding CW. 
  * Not much activity on 30m, despite many RBN spots of my CQ calls.
  * Period 1
    * 30m QSO : **F5POJ** : RSt
    * 40m QSO : **DL6LV/P** : Hry, nr Keil. BVp. Short ~RC. Should look for him again for a longer chat.
  * Period 2
    * 60m QSO : **G0IIK** : Nigel, nr Heathrow, RCh. BVp me: "Vibroplex Presentation 1957", him : "McElroy Bug 1940 same age as me, 82" Another nice chat w/ Nigel
    * 30m QSO : **DL4ST** : RSt
    * 30m QSO : **IK2MMM/QRP** : RSt "QSL only electronic" = LOTW confirmation
    * 30m QSP : **M0RQD** : Steve, Isle of Wight : SKh. RC. slow and pleasant "beginner" QSO - hope for many more and for Steve to find CW improves rapidly with use.



Finding many RBN reports from my CQ calls - as far as Australia and Hong Kong, but very often no replies. Will endeavour to reply to any/all CQ calls I hear.
