QRP with Easter.

During Easter I visited my mother in the northern part of the Netherlands. In her house is a ZEPP for 30M hanging, on the topfloor. Normally I span the last few meters via the window to the end of the garden. This time I put the last few meters to the floor in the attic.

I brought my Q5 30M transmitter and wanted to see whether the signal would be heard by someone.
The next project is a switchbox to connect a seperate tx and rx to an antenna.
I gave a CQ several times on 10.116 MHz and saw that my signal was heard in Slovenia. A distance of almost 1000 km with about 250mW output. This experiment was successful.

Then I wanted to try my Rockmite 40M transceiver. On Easter Sunday there was a contest in HB9 and impossible for me to make a qso. After the contest, I made ​​a new attempt, without success.
Always difficult with a crystal that you can not move.
I had a few successful qso's with this trx made​​ in the past.

QSO's met de Rockmite

Vandaag had ik de mogelijk om mijn Rockmite op een grote antenne te proberen. Deze antenne is een Pyramide voor 40m.
In de LZ DX contest maakte ik 3 qso's: SP3AEN, OK1FRO en UA9CSA.

Ondanks de vele signalen en grote antenne viel het mij op dat deze kleine zelfgebouwde transceiver zo rustig bleef.

3-12: Via mijn logboekprogramma kwam ik er achter dat UA9 op 40M een nieuw land voor mij is.
