12 element yagi for 2m used at home in March 2011. The temporary operating location in the shed used in the JMMFD and in the QRP hours contests. Computer came in handy for checking the rules. The FT817 next to it was the radio used for the QRP contest, running 5 watts output into the 80m dipole. It is very small and quite light. The antennas at the Yass property, as set up for recent operating events, April 2011. The dish has a future role on a microwave band above 1296 MHz.

My adventures with Amateur Radio and Geocaching! My new Pathtag has finally arrived! June 24, 2015.

Get out of the Radio Shack and Live Life. Australian National Parks and ACT Nature Reserves. Hi all SOTA fans VK1 is pla.

Big mountain, small voice, many ears. Last weekend was a contest double-bill with the Remembrance Day and Lighthouse contests. Receiver strip, now with replacement audio stage using a TDA7052. Instead of the prescribed LM380. 867MHz IF filter, SA612 product detector, TL072 op amp, 2N2222 BFO. With a 10MHz IF and 3MHz VFO, which sounds sweet.

Amateur radio station from Belgium. About O N 4 V T. It asked continious concentration to pull the stations out of the QRM. Made the effort worth the time.

The rantings of VK2GAZ on his SOTA experiences in Australia. Scheyville National Park VKFF-444 Revisited. This gallery contains 6 photos. Scheyville National Park was last visited on the 25th April, 2015 and a great time was had making 43 contacts. Solar controller, fan and wiring.

The operating position on Briarty Hill with the kids in the background. Activated across 31 December 2013 and 1 January 2015. I tuned up on 40 metres and logged my first. Once the New Year arrived, I held my frequency and worked 10 SOTA stations straight in as many minutes. The following 30 minutes settled down to a comfortable pace with seven more S2S stations worked. When the New Year rolled over I worked a total of 29 contacts with 16 unique summits. As soon as the FT-817 was.
