You are going to love the G90 and its 20 watt output. My reports are only one S unit down from full power with my FT891. The difference between 5 watts and 20 watts are significant as you will be...

Okay... I give up! I?ve been looking for 30 minutes for a list of all Awards and their criteria and can?t find it. The ?see a list of awards? on the left side bar at Home only takes you to the...

Having changed vehicles a few times I now have a L200 crew cab. Found a place behind the rear seat to fit the radio and have room under the bonnet for a battery, not sure how big yet but as I need to...

The Xiegu X5105 is a 5 watt QRP transceiver.

Frequency coverage is 500 kHz to 30 MHz - plus 6 Meters.

Modes are SSB, CW, AM, FM.

It also has a built-in RTTY decoder, which works on receive...

Yes.Will do. I haven't transmitted with more than 5 watts for years, so it will be interesting to see what 20 watts can do.

After much deliberation, I decided to settle on a Powertraveller Powergorilla and Solargorilla. I also have a Texenergy Infinite Air portable wind turbine, which I use to keep the tablet going when...

Its a lovely spot. It even has a shack which is a shack! It gives me all-weather capability, which is very nice.880

Hi

I have owned the FT817, Great Radio at the time but a very small screen. I now use a Xiegu X5105, 5w output power with built in ATU and Battery. Excellent Radio for the price.

Hi Matt

I started out with a Hustler antenna. The resonators mount on a 54" mast and there is also an adapter plate which allows mount 3 resonators at the same time for instant band changes.

I plan to use my DX70TH for some portable ops while at the Okie-Tex star party next week. The star party will be operating with the special event K0T. I also plan to activate the Tri State marker...

Well I now have an IC-703 and looking forward to getting out and about with it.

I have been busy with the wood. I purchased my PX3 about 4 weeks ago and have loved using it and finding all its additional uses i.e. PXK31, RTTY, Waterfalls etc.

My main problem was having the...

Some changes to the /P kit over the past few months - A KX3 found its way into my kit-bag so that's now the QRP/CW radio of choice. A homebrew Linked Dipole has also been made-up. Some of our group...

Yesterday I put up a couple of 30m inverted Vee antennas. One was driven, and the other was a passive reflector positioned ~1/4 wave behind and about 3% longer.

It was set up to beam...

Yes I agree Jes, but HRH Prince Phillip was coming the next day. I wonder if I would have earned an additional ARPOC Award, perhaps the "Portable Professional ROYAL" Award. Hi Hi

For me walking for 5 minuets could put me at another bay and then another 5 minuets there are parts of the island I would be at another bay.
There is also only a few squares covering Guernsey....

The more I think about this the more complex it becomes ! On reflection I think it should be left to common sense. Claimants can ask for decisions as and when they arise. That way "case law" can...

I think 6 digit squares are a bit big for this as they are over 2.5 miles a side! I have some spots I use that are with the same 6 digit square. Does this mean that you can only use each 6 digit...

I agree. If we need to define it this is a good way to do it.

Ah - that's the kind of thing that I've been looking for: Something to allow me to put a standard/travel 10m pole in the ground but without having to take a hammer (or rely on an-other Essex Ham). I...

I screw one of these in, and use velcro cable ties to attach the pole to it....

Fibre Glass Pole Mounting

I received my copy of Practical Wireless issue a couple of weeks ago and was interested in reading the article by Alan Walker (G4UWS) on his Universal Pole Mounting (page...

Just spotted this edit.
Interesting comment, I expected to be in the minority not liking the kite style winders for the wire.
The wire spools are downloadable if you have a 3D printer, which is how...

I'm working on a MkII with what I hope will be an improved loading coil. A bit more "fiddly" to build but might provide a better coil. I'll write it up when I've built it.

A lovely portable site with great VHF take off. Have to backpack to the top these days. Free roaming ponies and RC glider fliers are often seen.
