On 2nd October 2019 I mailed OQRS/direct requests received before 29th September. Please allow few weeks for post to be delivered. The reason for little delay was my operation from EX0QP in September.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I finished  manual entering QSO missed in Fox/Hound mode. 

 

 

 

 I modified 30m antenna. Instead of 40m it is now working on 40m. Last days of operation will be dedicated to 40m operation.

 

 

 

Two element yagi for 6m. Mast made of stick from the brush, wire elements placed on fishing rods....

 

Today, 20th July 2019, I changed antenna configuration. 6m and 10m antennas were removed and on the same mast I mounted Inverted L with elevated radials. All work took me most of Saturday but I hope results will show that it was worth.

I checked new Inverted L antenna and it can tune on 10m and probably 12m with SWR about 1:1.95. It will allow to make sporadic Es contacts with Europe.

80m Inverted L mounted over the church roof

 

 

 

 

There is a programming bug in FT8 Fox/Hound mode. The program is not logging every 3rd - 4th QSO. I will check  missing QSOs in the log when at home in August.

 

 

 

 

 

Below you can see my present antennas: 2 el for 6m, VDA for 20m and vertical for 30m and hotel patio.
