ERC-M Az/El

Getting ready to build my ERC-M rotor interface to control my Yaesu G-5500 rotor.

First setup will be 2m/70cm quads for Satellite.

EME - maybe later.
Need to document how often it's possible to work the moon with a EME set here at my QTH.

Hopefully I will se you on the bands.

Best regards

Summervacation - testing Winlink

Testing Winlink HF email and position reports system.
Working very well - and so far only used 80 and 40 meters.
I'm also at APRS - http://aprs.fi/la7dha-8
APRS coverage is not the best out here.

I'm QRV at 3710 10:00/22:00.
Hopefully I can have a few QSO's on HF also during our trip.

This is Kosterhavn.
Beautiful place when wind is calm.
Depth is only 5meters and we have trolled out about 20meters of chain.

QRP today...

With my "Sandy antenna" Par EF-10-20-40 I'm QRV from the terrace. Nice weather also. I found 3 switch mode psu's in the house making noise.
They are turned of for the moment...
New ones has to be invested in...

QRV Remote Rig.

I have brought a few radios with me.
Remote Rig is done via internet to the radio placed in our sailboat.
The antenna is a 20m backstay With an Icom AH-4 antenna tuner.
I tried to use my end-fed antenna for QRP with my FT-817 out of the hotel window from 8th floor.
Did not work very well.
I'm also QRV via D-Star vi local repeater and via DV-dongle and raspberry pi at the North Norway room.

Signal was about 14 - and 1 - 4SNR
Great potential - but not really a QRP mode - yet.. :-)
    This is how the new 1600 mode looks like:




1400-mode needs much better signal. Even with 7-9S it's a real nut to crack.. :-)
This is how old 1400 V0.91 mode looks like:
