Covid jab

Wife and I had our first Covid Jab (Pfizer) back in February, I had some side effects which were fairly mild, flu like symptoms and sore arm. My Wife had none. On Wednesday we had our second and the side effects were much worse resulting in time off work. This is a blow by blow account. We had the Pfizer jab at 1230 on Wednesday. Everything was fine until around 2330. Started with back pain, headache, sore arm and shakes. By around 0300 I could hardly move and couldn't move my arm at all. These symptoms continued until around 1300 on Thursday where they eased slightly. It took till this morning, Friday, to feel normal which just very slight pain at the injection site. I publish these hopefully to give some of you a bit of a heads up.

Ft991 Hamlib error with WSJT

 As you know, I love FT8 and enjoy working this mode. However, yesterday WSJT suddenly threw a Hamlib error at me and wouldn't communicate with the rig. I spent a lot of frustrating time rolling back drivers etc, which didn't work. Finally after a careful look at the port setting I unchecked the 'Use FIFO buffer' This cured the problem and everything is now working.

Webcam on Wunderground

 I have a camera that I have used to upload weather pictures to Weather Wunderground. It starting playing up so had to do a reboot on it. Everything was fine apart from it wouldn't show my webcam as online. Camera was saying FTP Success, but no video. After a bit of head scratching, and Google searching it turns out the file was to large, quick adjustment and everything works. You can view it at
