28 december - G5RV /J first field test

Although its just 1°C with a 3 bft wind i wanted to test my newly build G5RV/J in the field. First scan with the RigExpert gave a promissing result.

After some alignment made a few QSO's and got good signal reports. Happy with the results.

Summer in the city

Spend a today at a recration lake and put my fieldkit case with the FT-817 to work. While the kids where playing at the beach and in the water and my girlfriend was charging up in the sun, I hangout my 20/40m endfed. After some tuning and.listening I fired up te hole 2.5watt ;-) and started to search the "Fair" bands. And made some nice QSO's to : IQ3TN, F4HHL, IN3HUU, GA14CG and a very nice long QSO to HB9EWB/P exchanging equipment and setup information. So a well spend QRP lazy day setup.

The nextday it was still hot and the kids wanted to go again.

Jun 2014

The evening of the 18 of June had perfect weather for a "field evening", so I packed my bag and took a walk to a nearby field. We all know that QRP is fun and although the conditions weren't that good, yesterdays evening best was a QSO with Nick RU3FM (my rst 57 his rst 59+30) over a distance 2059 km. yep, i'm a happy puppy

Setup : FT-817 with 2.5W in a 20/40m DIY endfed (horizontal between 2 trees aprx 8m above ground)

Note to my self : bring a aditional 12V battery pack in case you forget to fully charge the FT-817.
