Vertical is down

Activity from OKFF-1571 Jiřina

My first activity this year. The OKFF-1571 is about 7km on food from my QTH. We had a sunny day and after a very busy week, I need some time to relax :). I already had LiPol battery charged, packing KX3, EFHW antenna, paddle and other stuff was ready in a few minutes.

OK2CQR is back

We celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Czechoslovak Republic (Czechoslovakia) on October 28, 1918. I’ll be one of the special callsigns on the air. You can get very nice award for QSO with OL100 callsigns. I’ll be active as OL100C. More information about the award is on OKDXF website related to this event.

QCX QRP Transceiver

I ordered this excellent QCX QRP TRX from QRP Labs (40m band version) at the beginning of December 2017 and had to wait almost two months but finally got it. Order volume of this kit was (and is) extremely high. You’ll get very good radio for very low price. Especially the RX is really good.
