6 to 8 new amateur radio tools per day are requesting a Club Log API key. That's compared to one a month in 2025. Who is installing these ~1500 vibe coded tools? Some are for just one person but many seem to be logging tools written by Claude, and they can't all be "special". Seems a bit much? 😐

Good luck to those putting up antennas for CQWW! 🌪️🌊

Weekly DX report updated: https://clublog.org/dxreport.html

A clear night gave me the chance to finish the Heart Nebula project. Last night I got the extra data needed for the Hubble palette. The blue region is oxygen, red is hydrogen, and the green is sulphur.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! 6+ months of work by SO many people is converging on a fantastic thing for researchers online. We want to democratize access to research infrastructure online, for good, and we've put together an amazing team to make it happen. ❤️

The Heart Nebula - IC 1805 - last night. This is currently using the 'Foraxx' palette - when I have the extra data I'll make a Hubble palette version. Picked this as it's currently on a perfect overhead path - the best! Slightly amazed how bright and big the nebula is.

OscarWatch Tracker v1.0.5 is out! 🛰️ Adds QRZ/HamQTH name lookups to the logbook, SPID TCP rotator control, IC-7100 dual-radio CI-V support, new language localisations, and sky plot fixes. Thanks to VK7TW for joining our supporters! github.com/magicbug/Osc...

Didn't want to wait, so I have put out a new DXChrono Desktop release. You can find more info at desktop.dxchrono.com/changelog.html

Conditions last night were just about perfect, so I put the telescope out to capture Andromeda in narrowband. You can really see the hydrogen regions (red) where stars are forming. ✨
