WIMO Diplexer #22030 - 2m/70cm 100W

As a logical follow on I opted for a separate Diplexer for my Arrow antenna. I've choosen the WIMO Diplexer #22030.

ArrowAntennas 146/437-10BP - first measurements

The HAM RADIO 2018 in Friedrichshafen brought me a new antenna - the Arrow Antennas 146/437-10BP - I plan to use it for SOTA work as well as for working some amateur radio satellites.

QRPGuys 40m-10m UnUnTenna Plus

In the German QRPForum someone mentioned a group of QPR enthusiasts QRPGuys. They have some neat QRP kits - transceivers as well as antenna-tuners.

I gave these kits a try: QRPGuys Portable Tri-Band Vertical Antenna and the QRPGuys 40m-10m UnUnTenna Plus

Cheat sheet for HamGadgets Ultra Picokeyer

I've made a simple cheat sheet for my HamGadgets Ultra Picokeyer because it is hard to remember the various key sequences and abbreviations in the menu mode :-)

Our third SOTA activation for 2018 is done. Monika (DL6SCF), our daugther Lisa and I activated the Römerstein DM/BW-078. Beautiful weather, a little bit overcast and not too warm. The CONDX where better than last sunday.

SOTA - Activations

Here you find a list of all my SOTA activations

SOTA - DM/BW-855 - Michelsberg

Our second SOTA activation for 2018 is done. Monika (DL6SCF) and I activated the "Michelsberg" DM/BW-855. Beautiful weather - very sunny but not too warm. The CONDX where horrible. Deep QSB from S0 up to S9 from Spain und into the UK - very frustrating.
