Radio Shack
Radios in use by me
Finally a new toy in my hands. Will be as a replacement for old IC706MKIIG used with microwave portable station.
PA5X operator of 5T5PA installed a huge 80m deltaloop antenna, with the top at 30m above the ground. His signal was fantastic on 80 m so it was possible for me get the QSO on FT8. Now worked him on 9 bands FT8 mode and on 3 bands CW. This QSO is a new DXCC
After a short attend today did 4U75UN on 20m CW. This is a new DXCC entity on CW (#204) for me.
Today did some interesting QSO´s during daytime. According to prediction, all these QSO´s, were in direction of the Eta-Aquarids shower radiant. Predicted peak expecting 5th of May 20:11. Could be some early stones during these QSO´s. One of these QSO’s was my new square. Worked YO5AVN in KN17ww, QRB 1543.4 km. Worked up to now
This month did maintenance of antennas and rotor. Removed 4 m and replaced with 2 m yagi. Now on the mast: 23 cm – 35 elements Tonna, 18.6 dBd, boom length=3.07 m with ½ inch coax cable (DRAKA RFA/BHF) about 20 m, attenuation 2.3 dB, no preamplifier installed on the mast yet. In the shack:
Finaly get a long awaited square KP05. This afternon got a QSO with SM2EKW in KP05uw, on my favoritt mode FSK via meteors, probably rest of Lyrids or Delta-Piscids stones. Up to now 454 squares worked.
For last 2 days was a tropo over NORTH SEA on 23 cm. Not mamy station were active so I got in log only PA0O, SM6VTZ and F5APQ. This last one QSO is a new # for me. QSO with F5APQ on CW, locator JO00xu, QRB=1514 km, Total 27 squaers worked up to now.
Worked CW and FT8 mode on 17 m First QSO in the log: 22 Feb 2020 23:56 UTCLast QSO in the log: 06 Mar 2020 01:00 UTC Enter your callsign: Search Log Log Search result for LA4YGA MODE/BAND 160 m 80 m 60 m 40 m 30 m 20 m 17 m 15 m 12 m 10
