In the last month I've managed to add MACAO, LATVIA, QATAR, PORTUGAL and LUXEMBOURG to the list of DXCC locations. This brings the total to 80. All via FT-8, using the Mag-Loop from the balcony.

RS-BA1 v2 - Version 2.30
If you have undertaken the firmware upgrade on your IC-7300, to version 1.40 (released on 26 Feb 2021) and you also connect to it with the Icom Remote Control software, then I recommend you also update the RS-BA1 v2 software to version 2.30 (released 5 March 2021) .
To take advantage of the updates you will need to go into 'Connect Set' and change the Model to 'IC-7300 (Ver1.40 -)'.
Changes from Version 2.21
- Supports the improved Scope function of the following models.
- - IC-705 with firmware version 1.24
- - IC-7300 with firmware version 1.40
- - IC-9700 with firmware version 1.30
- A popup screen that displays when SPAN or EDGE change is added.
Both the update on the IC-7300 and to the RS-BA v2 are, in my opinion, worth doing!

Kakadu Scenic Flight
Chris and I received our third set of Territory Passes ($200 each) last week and decided to head east. We drove to Kakadu (about 250km), booked in for two nights at Jabiru and did a scenic flight this morning.
This is the best way to see Jim Jim Falls, along with other waterfalls and spectacular scenery.
