ON5ZO-OQ5MThanks to D450ICV on 28042 I now know that Cape Verde has been independent for 50 years.
#hamradio makes you smarter.
#HamHarder with #hamradiodx and #cw4ever
Glad to contribute to some juvenile #hamradio fun in last month's #yota #hamradiocontest
Why not?
I copied today's #Morsle at 40 WPM! https://morsle.fun
What is a 'flint' anyway?
Tomorrow @arrl Ten Meter #hamradiocontest .
Anyone up for that?
28MHz propagation seemed poor yesterday. I hope it'll get better for the weekend.
Look for OQ5M both modes. Yes SSB too, for maximum number of QSO.
I put up three antennas:
* 5el yagi 21m high
* Flattop dipole 10m high lobe 40°/220°
* Flattop dipole 5m high lobe 120°/300°
Let it not be in vain!

My very rare ON4WF Fingertip Key award.
Obtained at the #ubabe annual convention in 2002. I had to QSO him face to face. I was young and eager to show CW is my game. Using two brass rings around my fingers.
He brought a pc and colour printer to hand out awards to The Deserving.
Gaston ON4WF passed away this week. 98 y/o, 70y a ham. RIP OM.
#cqwwdx is indeed World Wide DX.
1950 QSO on the 15m band, 140 DXCC entities.
And my target of snatching the 20y/o Belgian record for SB15(A)HP? ✅✅✅

Attention #pota people
ON5ZO/P goes to ON-0504
Tomorrow Tuesday 15/08.
My morning ↔ DX evening?
From: 2023-08-15 06:15 UTC
To: 2023-08-15 08:15 UTC
+/- 14050 CW ♦ 14280 SSB
High hopes:
- for lots of callers.
- to find the spot that I selected from google maps.
All this to please my 11 y/o son who keeps on DEMANDING to "let's do a parkie".
For my new portable setup I was looking for a way to connect the beefy LiFePo4 battery to the radio. Something detachable that does not involve screwing all the time and that can handle 20A.
Enter the Neutrik PowerCon. A sales rep gave me a few samples in my previous life as a broadcast engineer. After more than 20y in the parts bin, it was time to put them to use.
More in comment.

In times of low activity, I always get something that reminds me of previous activities in #hamradio .
Like winning the UBA DX SSB #hamradiocontest in my category in 2022.
The pre-special-military-operation era. When UA and UR stations filled my log at a steady pace.
Now we need stable peace...
