Most of my Parks on the Air (POTA) activations are QRP at 5 watts. It's fun to change it up every now and then! This morning I decided to bring out my Yaesu FT-891 along with the Chelegance MC-750 antenna and do a 100 watt activation. Good times!
Thank you for joining & 73!

Im just a listeningstation, i have a bunch of radios, but no license hehe, but i enjoy listening, my main tranciver is a Yaesu Ft 897d :) i realy enjoy the Chinese tiny qrp radios since they have cw practice mode, and are inexpencive, i can just trow one i my bag with a smal powerbank and a speakerwire antenna. 73 from LA-M160560 Norway

Very cool! Radio is a fun hobby with many ways to enjoy it. Small QRP radios are really fun, I tend to collect them myself. It's fun to see how tiny of a kit you can make while still being effective. Thanks for watching!

@w4arb 7 месяцев назад

Well heads up, I’m planning to activate tomorrow some time around lunch my time, so 9 or 10 AM your time probably. I plan to start on 10m and work my way up to 20m, so there’s a good possibility of us being able to get a contact!

Those pileups got pretty intense! I had better stick with QRP!

@w4arb 7 месяцев назад

Hah! They certainly did. It’s fun sometimes, but QRP yields me plenty of contacts too and is much more relaxing.

@n1bsbri 7 месяцев назад

The QRO and 20 meters made our contact today a breeze. A nice treat for me before heading out to my activation. --n1bs

@w4arb 7 месяцев назад

Always great to get you in the log! It’s fun to crank it up sometimes. Certainly makes it faster paced than QRP. Hope you had a good activation too! 73

@ve2zdx 7 месяцев назад

How does the MC-750 hear? If it hears somewhat equal to a ss17 with 12 radials I’m interested in getting one hehe 73!

@w4arb 7 месяцев назад

It’s great! It’s basically the same thing as the SS17, but comes with everything ready made to deploy and go, plus a 40m coil. Plus the band marks on the whip are super helpful. I also have the optional 80m coil, so i can do 80-6 with it. It comes with 4 radials, and that’s what I use. but it’s easy to add more.

Nice to hear you 579 in PA this morning. I had a feeling you were QRO this morning. I do mostly QRP activations but lately been using my IC 7100 in the car with higher power. The pile ups are fun, but I actually decided to swap the IC 7100 and brought it into the house and going to use the IC 705 in the car for future winter activations because I miss the QRP challenge. Happy New Year. 73 de KN3A.

@w4arb 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for the contact! Completely agreed, QRP is both more challenging and relaxing. Catch you on the air again soon! 73

@chickenjoymanok1 7 месяцев назад

hihi is 100 watts cw overkill?

@Tamlin73 7 месяцев назад

I think i can hear him on my airfryer in Norway 😂

@w4arb 7 месяцев назад

Great question! It just depends on what your goal is. When doing something like a Parks on the Air activation, CW with 100 watts just means that my signal will be a bit stronger and more stations will be able to hear me. It makes the activation faster pace, and typically results in a higher count of contacts. It also results in larger equipment, especially batteries. I typically operate with 5 watts which results in a slower pace that I find more relaxing. It's fun both ways, just depends on what my goal is for the day.
