Another Czech station from Chao da Poza (OK5RK)

This is yet another video with the Czech Republic (Karel, EA5RK) from Chao da Poza, SOTA reference EA1/LU-010.

I am looking forward to my next activation where I will have a chance to test my new slightly longer 2.9m whip.

Testing the FT-897D manpack

Today I have been testing my FT-897D manpack with the help of EA1AQ. The antenna was a 2.9m military whip for which I had to create a special mount with an M10 thread.

The QSO we were listening to was so long that we didn't have a chance of making a call...

Onother QSO with the Czech Republic from Chao da Poza

This is a video of a QSO with Czech station OK1SDE (Borek) from Liberec. It was my second QSO with the Czech Republic from Chao da Poza (SOTA reference EA1/LU-010). I was using my FT-897D on 15m SSB, with a 2.4m whip anttena.

Liberec is a city in the Czech Republic. Located on the Lusatian Neisse and surrounded by the Jizera Mountains and Ještěd-Kozákov Ridge, it is the fifth-largest city in the Czech Republic.

Canada from Punta Fiateira Rear Lighthouse (VO1TX)

I have just received this nice eQSL for a QSO with Canadian station VO1TX on 20m SSB when I was activating Punta Fiateira Rear Lighthouse together with EA1HNP (José Luis). That was a short but very fruitful activation.

Hungary (HA5CW)

I also made a QSO with HA5CW from Chao da Poza on the 15m band.

After my QSOs in SSB I tried CW for some minutes but I didn't have as much luck, probably because I had not announced that mode of operation in the SOTAwatch alert system. I didn't have much time either because we had to leave for Madrid.
