The latest batch of QSLs to arrive in recent weeks confirming CW and SSB contacts into Swains Island, French Polynesia, North Cook Islands, Samoa, Lord Howe Island, Chatham Islands, Vanuatu, Ducie Island and Tuvalu. All were Autumn 2023 Dxpeditions (except VP6A which was June 2023) to these entities in the South Pacific. Let's hope for more of the same in 2024 👍

This is a very interesting clip. It explains about Solar Cycles, Solar Flares, Sun Spots, Auroras and Geomagnetic Storms. It seems we could also be at a risk as this new Solar Cycle peaks..🤔

Ham Radio is prominently featured in this very interesting documentary about Flight MH370. One of my favourite HF radios, the Yeasu FT 707 is featured at the start of the program. Think the theory used to solve the mystery is very far fetched and speculative in my opinion. What are your thoughts on it ?
