Was dead chuffed yesterday to see that my 2.5W on 20m into a 5 metre tall army surplus Racal Clansman mobile whip antenna mounted on a tripod was doing well. Picked up at 16dB by VE2WU. <br />TF3Y in Iceland picked up the CQs I made on 30, 20 and 17m.<br />It's fascinating to see.<br /><br />Pete M3KXZ<br />Pedroskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072408911708976528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462678272949384534.post-19052152147525397392012-04-22T23:10:10.368+01:002012-04-22T23:10:10.368+01:00I have to confess to being QRO for the 9M0L Spratl...I have to confess to being QRO for the 9M0L Spratly pile-ups!!HamRadioIrelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008583900692977974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462678272949384534.post-78454571470782573802012-04-22T23:09:46.951+01:002012-04-22T23:09:46.951+01:00Doing a grand job too Mike !Doing a grand job too Mike !HamRadioIrelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008583900692977974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462678272949384534.post-72062244713894281522012-04-15T11:36:35.597+01:002012-04-15T11:36:35.597+01:00QRP.... sorts out the real men from the QRO'er...QRP.... sorts out the real men from the QRO'ers!!!EI4DIBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409455060877792382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462678272949384534.post-60449079158329569122012-04-12T11:02:12.594+01:002012-04-12T11:02:12.594+01:00Good to see the old Elecraft K3 is getting out.......Good to see the old Elecraft K3 is getting out....:)VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462678272949384534.post-50312467124732052902012-04-03T21:46:26.678+01:002012-04-03T21:46:26.678+01:00I just put your callsign into the Reverse Beacon N...I just put your callsign into the Reverse Beacon Network Mike and got this!:<br /><br />K8ND VE3WDM 7018.5 CQ [LoTW] 9 dB 20 wpm 0031z 30 Mar<br />WZ7I VE3WDM 7018.5 CQ [LoTW] 18 dB 20 wpm 0031z 30 Mar<br />K1TTT VE3WDM 7018.5 CQ [LoTW] 15 dB 20 wpm 0031z 30 Mar<br />KQ8M VE3WDM 7018.5 CQ [LoTW] 16 dB 20 wpm 0031z 30 Mar<br />K3MM VE3WDM 7018.5 CQ [LoTW] 13 dB 20 wpm 0031z 30 Mar<br />W4KKN VE3WDM 7018.5 CQ [LoTW] 11 dB 20 wpm 0031z 30 Mar<br />NY3A VE3WDM 7018.5 CQ [LoTW] 18 dB 20 wpm 0031z 30 Mar<br />W2MKM VE3WDM 7018.5 CQ [LoTW] 16 dB 21 wpm 0031z 30 MarHamRadioIrelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008583900692977974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462678272949384534.post-68429542303222521812012-04-03T20:28:14.706+01:002012-04-03T20:28:14.706+01:00Mike, there is no doubt that real QRP, 5 watts, is...Mike, there is no doubt that real QRP, 5 watts, is a challenge! You win some, you lose some! 50 watts is a bit more tolerable! I like the idea of running low-er power than normal to see what I can get in the log. Anyway there is still a 100 watt limit on 30 metres in EI whereas the limit is 400 watts on other bands.HamRadioIrelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008583900692977974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462678272949384534.post-73901750365902876742012-04-03T01:00:41.517+01:002012-04-03T01:00:41.517+01:00Good evening Anthony, as you know QRP is my forte...Good evening Anthony, as you know QRP is my forte here at VE3WDM. It's great fun and the Reverse Beacon network sure can fill you with surprise as to how far your signal has gone. I have QSO's all over Europe and as far as Japan and South Africa with as little as 500mW's. Then again last night I was running 5 watts (my QRO) trying to get into South Africa but it was a no go he just could not dig me out.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.com
