The images below show the linear free shack ready to work some interesting stations, This is a very small and simple shack space, I hope that what I have keeps me happy because unless I buy a much bigger house or build on a extension this is going to be it for some time. Saturday, 9 November 2013. Monday, 4 November 2013. I worked E...

M0TEF - QRP and Amateur Radio. A blog about my QRP activity and other amateur radio interests. Sunday, 26 January 2014. QRP contacts, DX and local QRM. I have been really busy recently with a mixture of work and family life. It is great to have a hobby but sometimes other things just stand in the way. This weekend however I got a sneaky few hours to visit a local radio rally to sniff out some bargains and then an hour or so to fire up the radio in peace. Wednesday, 8 January 2014.

M0TEF - QRP and Amateur Radio. A blog about my QRP activity and other amateur radio interests. Monday, 21 April 2014. A long break and some QRP fun. It has been a while since the pressure of modern life, a demanding job and a young family have allowed me to do much radio let alone blogging. I thought it was about time I updated and put some information online. Paolo very kindly sent his QSL card, many thanks Paolo. Below you can see my setup in the garden. Many thanks to anyone that has worked me and you...

Last night I had a chance to try my new Frog sounds QRP transceiver that I got from a Chinese eBay store. The unit cost me £21 and a few pence and I hadn't realised when I purchased it that it was pre built. I was hopeful it would be a kit but that is no huge loss. My next step will be to try and work some DX with it if we can. CW practice an...

M0TEF - QRP and Amateur Radio: CQ WW Result
http://m0tef.blogspot.com/2015/04/cq-ww-result.html
M0TEF - QRP and Amateur Radio. A blog about my QRP activity and other amateur radio interests. Saturday, 4 April 2015. I saw on Twitter that lots of stations were tweeting certificates from CQWW 2014 SSB contest. I went looking to check my results and was pleasantly surprised. I found I had a certificate for #1 England and to say I was happy with that is an understatement. The sad news is that my entry was QRO and far from my enjoyable QRP activities but still an achievement I am pleased of. I'm sure man...

Wilderness Radio - ZR1AAH". Wilderness AMATEUR RADIO operations. .serving the community. Friday, 24 June 2011. Swartkop Peak. .SOTA ZS/WC-057. Swartkop Peak is above and just to the South of Simonstown. This was another of my solo efforts, activating the peak in August 2010. Coming across a massive puffadder laying in the path while on my way down gave me a hell of scare as these buggers are a big danger when hiking alone. Click on any pic to get a larger view ).

This weekend allowed me the chance to start experimenting and playing with the radio equipment that I own. I was really pleased with the success of this radio on 2w SSB QRP operation. The RX on this radio is a little better than the FT-817 at this noise swamped urban location. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). PE4BAS Amateur Radio Weblog.
