First QSO in PSK with t...@Julian, tnx for the chat. First QSO in PSK with the FT-817. I really think this was amazing. Actually I didn't believe it myself,so I checked the radio and power meter twice. Modulated in PSK with no ALC reading on the meter I actually did peak 400mW. It's like that fish you catch, it's getting bigger and bigger ;-)<br />I plan to make another youtube movie of my quad loop and try to relate it to the house and other antennas so you can see what monster it is. Unfortenately I can only have it up in winter....my XYL doesn't like a bit of it.<br /><br />@Paul, de loop is werkelijk fantastisch. Vandaag weer in de 11 stedencontest. Kreeg gewoon klachten dat ik spetterde bij een aantal engelse stations. Volgens de info op internet hangt hij nu op een ideale hoogte (0,1 golflengte) een 1,5 mtr hoger als vorig jaar.<br /><br />73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-13135871128998105762010-11-20T10:04:47.297+01:002010-11-20T10:04:47.297+01:00Hello Bas, always nice to catch up one of our blog...Hello Bas, always nice to catch up one of our blog radio friends.

It flashed up while I was reading so I tuned to the same frequency, started KComm's PSK Browser and after a couple of minutes there you were.<br /><br />I couldn't believe that you were running 500mW. 80m is a tough band for low power. I was running 40W to my attic dipole but I guess most of it wasn't going in your direction. Despite the contest QRM my K3 pulled you out of the noise. I'm pleased to have the chat, eQSL has been sent, and I look forward to the next one under better conditions!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.com
