Hi All, 40M has been open the last couple of nights into Europe and Australia. The noise here in Brisbane has been no more than S1 so it has been a pleasure listening. I have not been able to break

For when you northerners qrp ops make it down to San Diego, I'll post notes of locations to visit in/around the San Diego area. Mt Laguna is close enough for a daytrip and there's plenty of exploring

Dave, Yeah, I understand, we really do want to see that the QRP Mag. stays in business. Dave

This site is very useful indeed. I had recently exchanged emails with Pieter-Tjerk about his work, especially on the SDR design in use here. He utilizes an A/D (samples the entire 30MHz at once) then

Sorry if this is too OT but having spent years looking for remotely accessible stations on the internet that actually work and are useful my search is over. http://www.websdr.org/ I can now use the

I find this fascinating and the ratings reassuring. Too bad it isn't ssb for voice/digital. http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/8263 Dave

QRPopsters, I just came across this item on eBay. The guy must still have the stuff as the auction ended without any bidder. I can't help but think that we can do something interesting with

Hi All, Nick and I manage to survive the FYBO camping trip to Monte Bello Open Space camp ground on the side of Black Mountain (El. 2600 ft.). The weather was OK going up to the campsite so we manage

Nick, I am glad you were able to make up for the poor WX. Sounds like you found another good radio location. By all means, we should try to get up there since it is so accesible. I listened for you

As restitution for bailing early on FYBO at Monte Bello I decided to get out and operate today before I have to go to a Super Bowl gathering. I went over to Coyote Hills in the East Bay and climbed

Nick and Dave, Sorry to hear about the bad WX. I got a bad cold and my voice is totally hoarse, so unlikely to make a hike up there. But I would listen for you on 20m CW at home this

I was watching the wx radar last nigth and saw that nasty stuff at your location. Which antennas are still standing? I can listen 20/40. 20m condx seems to nice.

Sorry to see the weather worsen for you guys. I was packed and ready to go until I looked out the window this morning. After checking?the forecast, I thought that hiking in a T storm and dodging

We got drenched last night! Antennas fell down in the wind and it was too loud to sleep much. We just had breakfast and are going to play on the radios from our tents for a bit. I have one CW contact

Wow, I am so jealous. But here I am without my RV and my foot in a cast. Stay dry and warm and have as much fun as possible. And don't forget to take pictures for the FBPC (Frozen Butt Picture

Thanks Nick, Dave The Moxon end-fed idea sounds interesting. I'll call you to setup a sched. We should have a path on 20m during FYBO. Wonder what kind of temps you guys are expecting for

Deon, I am still experimenting with the Moxon 2 element vertical. I off-set fed the thing with a 4:1 balun to try and get the feed point closer to the ground. It is supported by two Jackite 31 ft.

Howdy Folks, It's looking pretty overcast out there. :) If you look just past the campsite on that map you can see the summit of Black Mountain, nice views from up there. The elevation gain from

Hi Deon, That was a moxon that you saw in those pictures. Dave put it up so I'll let him talk about it. He was all over Tasmania and Australia with his 10w 703 that day though. Regarding that

Hi All, This Saturday from 0600 to 1400 is the FYBO QRP contest. You get multiple points for how cold it is. Nick and I will be at Monte Bello Open Space campground. The parking lot and trail access
