My adventures with Amateur Radio and Geocaching! Sites to check out. An end to my logbook dramas. Antenna Winders →. Kooyoora State Park – VKFF 759 – 23/05/15. I had no means with which to spot myself (Optus) and neither did Bob (Telstra) so I started calling on 7.105 and figured eventually someone would spot me. Contacts were pretty steady and there were plenty of new park chasers which was great, it shows that the parks programs are becoming more and more popular! An end to my logbook dramas. Hi Amanda...

DO MORE WITH LESS
DO MORE WITH LESS. This blog is for all those Amateur Radio Operators who enjoy QRP and Morse Code. Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Completed a small power box, thought you might like to have a look. This is just for QRP operation, so no high power levels going through the box. It allows me to hook it up to a power source, eg battery and then able to safely connect three separate devises but for me it is usually just QRP rig and auto antenna tuner. Hope you like it, works very well for me. Cheers for now,.
