I have an #FT8 station band-hopping over all the HF bands, 24x7. Yesterday, almost 200 stations decoded on #6m - the #SporadicE was hot. Today, fewer than 10 on 6m, and 30m on up are all very low; 20m is highest with only 64 in the past hour (very low). Lemme guess, #FieldDay weekend, right?

A modest annoyance with my current #Debian and #KDEPlasma6 setup: the #AmateurRadio apps change to the default audio source when the computer wakes up, rather than the otherwise unused motherboard audio I have configured.

So if #gqrx and #wsjtx are running when the PC goes to sleep, it will resume upon waking--but via my main audio interface. I have to manually change it and change it back for it to work properly again.

(I don't actually want #ft8 tones through my studio monitors.)
