It is worthwhile not only for radio amateurs, but also times with the whole family to observe such shooting star showers optically. To do this, you should look for a place in the region that is as dark as possible. Unfortunately, the light pollution in densely populated areas is enormous, so it is difficult to find a place that is sufficiently dark. Helpful are maps on the Internet, which show the degree of light pollution, e.g. https://www.lightpollutionmap.info oder https://darksitefinder.com/. Or ask the local astronomy group, where they go for observation... No matter if you look at the shooting stars, listen to them or use them actively as reflectors - we wish you a lot of fun and "Clear Skies".

Finally it is September. The dreamed-of journey over 2000 km from Germany to Italy has now become reality. Unfortunately, the itinerary leaves little to no time for radio operation on site. On the contrary, I will have a lot of free time as co-pilot, which I can use for some QSOs.

Hello, my name is Marco, DD6FM and today I am testing the CS-818 tuner from JNCRadio.
It's mid-September and the weather is still nice and warm today to do some portable radio. Normally I use mainly end-fed half-wave antennas with a 1:49 transformer, but there are often some situations where I want to cover more bands during my activations, then it makes sense to work with a tuner...
