QRP again

Submitted by Elmar on Sun, 08/23/2009 - 20:21

It was time again to do some more /P/QRP with Peter PD1AJJ again. As before, it was a nice Sunday afternoon. The sun was shining and it was about 25 degrees Celsius.
We both did it the easy way: A Yaesu FT-817 and an Outback 1899 on the car. So, QRV again within 5 minutes after arriving instead of putting up the mast for my windom dipole....

It's always nice to go outside and do some HF experiments. I don't try to make as many QSO's as possible. It's nice enough to hear that the hams on the other side of the rig are really surprised and amazed that I only work with 3 watt. Today I worked Pranas, LY2J and Alex, UA3QKA. QSL is on it way via the bureau guys!

Peter and I worked from the same location that we're going to use for the IARU HF Fieldday during the first weekend in September. You can check the location via APRS: http://aprs.fi/?call=A12-Field
