I finally set up my IC-7300 and rasied my antenna a little and now I'm using sstv and FT8 while I wait for a welder to do my mast,1st contact on SSTV was the image below, thou he's only a few KM's away but it was a good test to see if I was up and running

Well I've been smashing it hard using FT8 on 15m and 40m over the past two weeks, as a new licence holder I can see what all the fuss is about now, some say it's to easy and other's say its the only way one can make contacts, I found it all coming down to that person confirming your QSO, I do find it easy to use, thou hard to get a QSO from those stations I want, I've joined a few online clubs for awards and I'll won a pile of awards, as I said a little too easy to get, so FT8 is taking the ham community by storm they say, I would rather be using SSB but until my Yagi goe's up for 10m and 15m, I'll hang with sstv and ft8 for now using the W8010 dipole.

P.S on another note this html editing all the time as nobs on it, plan is to move on over to my Server ( Ubuntu ) and install Wordpress site then import every thing over to that Server, it will only be online when I get online, details will be on QRZ at a later date, just working out what OS server software I want to use and I've used quiet a few different linux system to run web site's on home Servers.
