  1. Eventually I should probably get something extensible so I could put up an inverted-V HF dipole for NVIS. My #QRP radio kit is small enough that I could get it all in the basket, probably. Maybe even with a power system to keep things running longer...

  3. I just had two younger people, one still in high school and one in their mid-20s, ask me if I would help them get their ham radio license.

    Of course I will, and for each of them, I promised that if they get their license, I would buy them a QMX Plus kit from QRP Labs and get them active on CW and digital modes.

    I'm actually kind of considering getting that ticket that lets you proctor the amateur radio exams

  4. Thank you @DG1JAN for the excellent plans and Gerber files! 1 hour building and about 15€ in materials gives you the perfect #qrp #endfed antenna 😊 The Plans and files can be found here: github.com/DG1JAN/xOTA-Antenna #amateurradio #hamradio #pota

  6. Сегодня небольшая поездка в поля для проведения радиосвязей. С собой пара антенн VP2E и стеклопластиковая мачта, на которой они крест-на-крест были подвешены.

    Ряд пометок для себя сделал, надеюсь что следующие поездки будут не менее интересные.

    Отдельно спасибо SQ3M за очень позитивную радиосвязь! 👍 За такими моментами и идёшь в радио.

  8. Another SDR joins the shack. 📡
    Testing the Xiegu G106 operating 40m FT8.
    The lack of an internal ATU is not an issue when using a resonant antenna and an external SWR meter. The absence of noise filtering, though, made SSB operation more challenging.

  12. Doing some tests with a cheap #qrp antenna from Amazon, looks nice so far, finally a somewhat portable #IC705 setup #ly2en

  14. И снова в радио? (Нет, не обострение, я просто спаял, наконец, нужный провод. :) )

    Сегодня большую часть дня слушая и маячил на JT9 и JS8Call на диапазонах от 20 и до 10 метров. Очень печально, практически никого.

    Периодически, чтобы совсем не грустить, прыгал на FT8, где операторов было достаточно много. Чтобы совсем уж было интересно, я "взял ружьё", шучу, снизил мощность до 5 Вт. Вполне хватило, чтобы "нарисовать паучка" на карте.

  16. Почти месяц не был в эфире, если не считать местные УКВ связи. (Их на 144850 мы в г. Раменское поддерживаем регулярно.) После работы включился на 10 метрах и потолкался в эфире. Прохождение замечательное!

  18. Came home to the DDX by VU3CER, a nice compact all bands, digital modes only QRP transceiver. Now I’ll have to learn SMD soldering!

  21. Do you know those odd little Chinese boxes sold as #CW trainers? I built an alternative: a #morsecode trainer for #flipperZero that teaches your ears first, rather than the usual visual teaching aids.

    It generates LCWO-style exercises, grades straight-key timing, works as a VBand/Vail adapter, and at experimental end, doubles as a #QRP rig.

    No extra hardware required: the joystick works as a straight key or paddles. It can do elekey A/B/ultimatic and more.

  35. I’ll be camping in West Virginia in EM97 this week. Going to try to work the #MagicBand with this “thrift store” ham stick dipole and a QMX+.

    Is #WestVirginia rare in others’ logs? I hadn’t been able to get it in my last 1.5 years as a Technician.

  40. @do9pse

    I have no advice on newer #QRP radios.

    I hope what you choose pleases you!

    For me, I've carried my Elecraft KX3, with built-in ATU in a bag on local hikes, with a wire dipole and thin coax feed, and a cheap computer headset.

    I've used it for QRP HF mobile with a 10m whip on the car roof.

    Biggest issues usually not radio!

    I've forgotten headset. A charged battery. Power cable. Audio adapter cable. Clamp for dipole wire. Logbook. Small tarp for rain and sun. Foam pad to sit on!

  44. All set for a field day, the aim is to test a home-brewed vertical coil (have an EFHW as backup) with the QMX and zbitx v1, test-driving a Gigaparts POTA20 mast, and the portable ESP32 powered HAM Clock I’ve been working on with the local club. In case, all goes well, might attempt a POTA.
