Winter storm

On March 23, 2010, in Amateur Radio, by TF4M

I took a few photos of the Arctic King during the storm.   When I examined the photos, I noticed that the attachment to the bottom part of the insulator of the right-hand vertical wire had broken.

This was quickly fixed and no damage resulted.

TF4M QRPp

On March 1, 2010, in Amateur Radio, by TF4M

Coming into the shack, I heard LA3XI call CQ on 1821.5 and since the amplifier was off, I decided to give him a call with the K3 cranked down to 0.1W (100mW !)  and he came right back with a 559 signal report.

I don´t know how accurate the built-in power meter of the K3 transceiver is, but it is clear that the Arctic King works well.

I looked outside and there is a full moon and light visible Aurora to the North.


I am not generally interested in QRP and even less in milli-watt power levels, but I am amazed by this.

A minute later, I tried this with an OZ station calling CQ, he got my call as TF3M and gave me a 579, but refused to acknowledge a correction of my call even when I called him with a KW.   Sorry OM, this QSO was not logged.
