Sepura SCL3 - NOT amateur radio
It looks more like a mobile phone than a traditional TETRA transceiver I hope it is successful.

The following have been notified, but always check details are correct before going far.
Interesting how many radio rallies have broadened their appeal to include a wider audience than in the past.
Β Solar flux is 163 and the SSN 106. A=12 and K=2.
Today I received my copy of the RSGB RadCom. One large UK dealer has most of the advertising space. I have no idea what this must cost, but it must be a lot. If this major dealer decided to stop advertising, or advertised far less, it would have a major impact on the RSGB and the remaining UK radio magazine available on newsstands.
Without this one dealer, I suspect RadCom would have to shrink in size and the one remaining magazine radio amateurs couldΒ buy in newsagents would enter terminal decline.
I hope I am wrong.
Β Solar flux is 165 and the SSN 140. A=71 and K=1.
Β Already this year we have seen the disappearance of CQ and Radio User (at least as a separate magazine). Others may follow.Β
At one time you could pop into a UK newsagent and see several radio related magazines. Not any more. Over the years more and more have closed or maybe gone online only. If you want a magazine about PC games or steam trains there are several to choose from.
It is as if few people are interested in radio technology any more, sadly.
10 years' time? The best we can expect is a few pages in a magazine about technologies in general.Β
I have made my view plain in the past. Am I right or am I right?
Β It looks like there are fewer European openings today, which may account for just English reports so far (1039z) on 6m FT8.

A while back I designed and build a 4m transverter that is on my website. It is only low power but managed to work well. It was inΒ GQRP SPRAT some years ago.
Β So far today, no spots on 10m QRP WSPR.
UPDATE 1145z:Β Local G4KPX (14km) seems to have stopped at breakfast time. EA8BFK (2880km) is now spotting me.
Β Solar flux is 170 and the SSN 103. A=23 and K=6.
Tomorrow I think I shall go on 10m QRP WSPR and 6m QRP FT8.
