This morning I dispatched my 200th Turret mic #kx2 #kx3 #trusdx #qmx #pota #sota https://shop.g7ufo.radio/collections/g7ufo-turret-mini-microphone-for-sota-pota

@DO3BN and I made a joint activation of #SOTA DM/SX-029 Großer Zschirnstein (#WWFF DLFF-1068, #POTA DE-0875, DE-0785) today on #40m in #morsecode, #15m in #FT8 as well as #2m and #70cm in #FM. The pileups were nice - the weather after the activation not so much, but we were adequately clothed. #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #ParksOnTheAir #Amateurfunk #qrp #elecraftkx2 #qmx #hiking #mountains #Saxony

Week 29 of the #HamChallenge: Make your own xOTA activation

I interpreted this as "get a type of place on the air which doesn't already have an established xOTA program."

This is PLOTA: Parking Lots on the Air. I semi-regularly try to activate the top of a parking deck at work over lunch. Looking forward to fall

Yesterday I've completed my new portable QRP CW radio kit. It includes the homebuilt #QMX transceiver, a 6m mast and a homebrew linked dipole for 40m, 30m and 20m. It's a lightweight setup that is more portable than my goto QRO pack.

So cute , the tiny CW pedal from K6ARK. STL Files can be found at printables. Fits nicely to the #qmx

I replaced display to green revers OLED - it's so beautiful

Adding 4x SMD 10nF to remove Rotary encoder glitch on my #QMX #HamRadio

Trying some 20m during the g4 magnetic storm. Deck-mode with my #doggo #qmx #baesus #bamakey #cw #qrp #pota #dota. Not making it too far from what I can tell on the web-sdr radios out east.

Finally got round to getting acquainted with my #QRPLabs #qmx. For reasons known only to her, Pippi the #whippet has decided to get involved and is currently “helping”.

2024 ham radio review :
- 2019 QSOs worked, mainly as LC2W in CW contests
- now worked 103 DXCCs (89 LOTW confirmations) with simple balcony antennas
- #QMX built for 15m to 60m
- intermittent operations of a #WSPR beacon (waiting for the multi-band hopping firmware upgrade)
- got a 100 W transistor amp as gift, bumping up the station to low power :)
- forced to experiment with resonant matched antennas in lack of a 100 W tuner
