#qrp — Public Fediverse posts

#qrp magic with the Icom #IC705. Logged a staggering 13,459 km #qso to NP4L in Puerto Rico on 20m CW using just 5 W!

Also had fantastic contacts with Scotland (MM0GOR) & Sakhalin Island, Russia (R0FBC). It’s amazing what a small transceiver, low power, & efficient antennas can achieve.

From the rooftop in Schönbrunn #IARU's can hook up with a 5W uhf/vhf thingie to our OE-link ring of 14 repeaters on mountaintops. Interlinked by our autonomous TCP/IP #hamnet. Skeds possible austriawide in the fm #qrp class
