One for the Pink Floyd fans.
Just thought I'd enjoy an evenings stint at some FT8 finding it all usually relaxing. Forgot it was Sunday. (Evenings and weekends are hectic on the digital mode frequencies!)
Operators bouncing, jumping and generally frolicking all over that waterfall!
Gonna give up for the evening but had an image/memory of my big Glaswegian Father bent over me as a 'wee' lad screaming at the top of his voice with that rough Scottish accent "WILL YE STAND STILL LADDY!!"
(What would I know, damn Sassenach! )
Have a great evening folks and I hope you all enjoyed the weekend.

Hee! I don't mind the frolicking Mike, it's when big guns stomp all over you again & again & again bouncing around that waterfall over everyone's signals.
(Often with accompanied windows notification sounds or splattering right across the band!)

One of my favourite albums, The Wall, quite often listen to it through my headphones in the small hours when I can't sleep.
Windows notifications and voice here over the weekend, had Morse a couple of weeks back

You cant beat a bit of Pink Floyd there Mark. (Unless of course you're not a fan!)
FT8 was a bit more pleasant this morning and had a quick enjoyable stint adding to the logs.
I know what you mean Mark, it's when someone transmits all over the frequency in SSB often 4kHz wide and with the most power they can muster! Very gentlemanly like I must say.
