HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2024
- I decided this year to chase Field Day stations this year by operating CW QRP on 40M, 20M and 15M and SSB on 10M.
Portable Antenna Setup
Chelagance MC-750
Batteries Bioenno 12V 15Ah and two USB 21Ah
QRP Radios for CW
M0NKA mcHF
MTBR-4B
Venus Sw-3B
QMX high band
Penntek TR-35
QRP Radio for SBB
Radio Shack Realistic HTX-100. I tried CW listening but was not able to hear any stations. CW filtering on this radio is not great. However it is fun to operate a vintage Radio Shack QRP.
When field day kick off at 18:00 UTC June 22nd I started at 20WPM. After off and on chasing this field day, sending at 20wpm felt like 12WPM to me so I increased my speed to 23wpm. I would recommend to increase the speed once you are comfortable.
36 CW QSOs 36
3 SSB 10M

Nice to see all the QRP rigs getting a turn during your Field Day ops! Looks like the HTX-100 was getting the job done on 10M. Too bad there were no CW stations on 10. 73, Patrick KF4LMZ
I have another QRP rig coming 😆. I could hear a CW station on 28040 in the weeds then disappeared. I couldn’t hear anything on the 10m beacon 28200 with the HTX100 or any of the other QRP rigs. I ll keep at it until I get a cw QSO on the HTX-100.
Nice!!!!
Glad to know I'm not the only one who shorts my s's h's and 5's at times... ;-). Interesting. We didn't think of trying 10 Meters SSB. There was NOTHING on 10 Meters CW in Utah...
HIHI- I have a problem with sequential dits 😆. I have been calling cq on 10 meters everyday in the morning and afternoon with no luck , however I am not even able to hear the 10 meter beacon on 28.200. Hoping 10m opens up so I can get a QSO on the Radio Shack HTX-100.
My kind of video! Subscribed.
I attended FD for the first time and got some contacts with a KX2 and QMX. Ton of fun! What key is that?
TNX for subscribing ! The Key is TPA paddle made by Larry N0SA. It is an awesome key and great to send on. Check out Larry’s QRZ page .
Is that a real M0NKA mcHF ? or one of the AliExpress Chinesium knock-offs (I heard that some are not that bad). And which paddle are you using?
Hi Jason , this is a real M0NKA MCHF with an internal ATU . It is a fantastic QRP rig. The paddle is a TpA made by Larry N0SA, check out is QRZ page.
@@dugbohamradio thank you for your reply. I find your channel motivating to keep plugging with CW. Lucky you! I have one of Larry's latest keys. I wish he still made the one you have! The radio sounded fantastic.
