Post 004: Finding My Frequency
Every ham remembers their first official contact. For me, it was the man who “pestered” me into the hobby: my husband. Being able to log him as my first-ever contact was a moment of immense pride. I got into this to share a hobby with him, and suddenly, we were finally on the air together.

With that first log entry, the floodgates opened.....

Took a long lunch break from work to activate the SOTA summit of Ruardean Hill today. It’s an easy drive-up and the weather was pleasant.
First time out for the QMX @n6ara paddle combo. Sending improved a bit once I realised I needed to tweak the spacing - sorry chasers!
Still early days for me with the QMX but I’m really liking it. It’s a fab radio. Even better once you factor in the VFM.

I am irrationally entertained by the GPS status screen in the terminal interface of my #QRPLabs #QMX+ radio.

First #POTA in a while. Which is a bit of a crime when the lovely Crickley Hill GB-0516 is only 10 mins from work!
Getting used to using the #QMX before commiting to a #SOTA with it. Works great. But either the keyer in the rig or the #BamaTech key has something I need to get used to as I couldn’t send for toffee today! Apologies hunters!

I have spent most of the day winding toroidal inductors.
17 toroidal inductors, 1 trifilar transformer, and two transformers wound on binocular cores.
I'm building the QRP Labs QMX+ transceiver. Nice to spend a day away from the computer screen.

Wer gerne morsen lernen möchte und festgestellt hat, dass der Morserino ausverkauft ist: Ab sofort gibt es den Nachfolger Morserino M32 Pocket. Bezug über QRPlabs. Ich habe mir mal ein Gerät bestellt und bin gespannt ...

Thanks to Walt, K6OGO over at Costal Waves and Wires for the kind words about my Turret Mic which he used when reviewing the QMX+

Decorated my shack (corner in the living room) with a spectacular new table (a painted (pink!) board on four cheapo legs from Hellweg). Also included, a prehistoric Thinkpad.

My 80-10 QRP EFHW antenna is underway and have now planned to make a 12V PD trigger for the #QMX by #QRPLabs. Tested Rx on it with the Silicon City net on 40m, thanks to VU3JIM, you can see the short video at: https://tilvids.com/w/buA81p7KLsnFz88SR2AYfw

I am yet have to make the mic to test Tx, yet another trip to the market I guess.
