André HB9HLM lives 20 km from me, his house is in a place where the winds are strong, the Jura mountains form a kind of funnel which accelerates the westerly winds. All this week the westerly wind was very strong, especially yesterday, André was very worried about his antennas with gusts of more than 110 Km/h.

The last few days I wanted to find out if it is possible to do some DX with little condition. So I used my FT818 barefoot and my EFHW antenna hanging in the trees around my house. Result, 2 qso with Brazil, 2 others with Cuba and some European stations, this on 10, 12 and 15m. Next I think testing in portable when it will be a bit warmer on the snowy summits. I don't like the cold? The answer is yes! 🥶😀#hamradio #ft818

@Mobilinkd TNC4 ordered this morning 😀

Hello @Mobilinkd Do you plan to produce a new series of your TNC3? If yes, do you know when? Thank you.

Yesterday end of the day at the RHLL (winter free software meetings) in Saint-Cergues near Geneva, HB9DUG presented the #sdr #sdrangel software, a great software called the Swiss army knife of software radio reception. HB9VAB then presented the #hamnet and its usefulness for our community. I'm used to participate, the free software community is very close to the amateur radio community and we are always very well received. Thanks @rhl and #swisslinux. See you next year! #hamradio

Mont Aigoual in south of France today. I have participated in several contests (jn14sc) on this site few years ago. It's near 1600m altitude and winters are completely amazing. A great site. (Photo Maxime Pinchon).

Too hard #Mastodon 💪 😀https://mstdn.social/@feditips/109728889111666171Now I read hashtag #hamradio with all those I follow.

After several attempts I finally got an excellent result in making a UNUN for the EFHW antenna. The toroids I had were not the right material. The ones I received from Holland this week work well (240-43).

The first snow came at the beginning of December, then it was very mild afterwards. The 2nd wave of snow arrived at the end of the afternoon. It is quite exceptional to have a winter with so little snow at 1000 meters of altitude... But the winter is not finished. Night photo just now.

Cycle 25 is much better than expected!https://www.spaceweather.com

@hb9wnm hb9hlm don't listen you on 2m Despite his big guns... I hope another time. They are log. Vy 73s

Webcam Roundshot at TV tower Chasseral, JN37MD, 1607m ASL right now.

No snow, incredibly mild temperatures, I've never experienced that in my mountains at 1000m altitude. What is this winter going to hold for us?

For sure, 2023 will be better for HF propagation, for the rest I hope it will be better for you and your families. Happy New Year and I hope to see you soon on the air.
