QRP transceiver kit

This 5W QRP kit has been brought to my attention. I have no idea how easy it is to build. It covers 2-30MHz.

See http://www.m0nka.co.uk/ .

QRP and QRP Club

More from Oleg:

"Dear Club 72 members and friends, Today our friend Victor RU3NJC have an operation with his heart in the clinic. All Russian Club 72 members organized QRP Marathon for support Victor today. Keep your activity on QRP freq's over a day, not only in the  "rendezvous"  period. We hope, each QRP QSO will be transform to smiles of doctors and medical sisters near Victor. Since heart operation is enough risk and long time procedure, Russian club  members  collect some money for Victor's family. We are welcome all  QRPers  and  friends  to  connect  to our "Mercy Marathon". Only voluntary  donations  will  be  appreciated  today. Club 72 financial manager UA1CEX is keeper of donations with his PayPal account - ua1cex@mail.ru   All  totals  incomes  will  be published here in "72 Newsletter"  tomorrow.  No  personal  names,  calls,  amounts  not be published, only totals. Keep your heart open and kind! Thanks for your help in advance! P.S. Exactly today, July 18, is Victor's Birthday 39'th. On behalf of all you there I wish Victor good health and the best of all! On   the   picture  is  Victor  RU3NJC  with xyl Tanya on the Club 72 QRP-Fest 2015 near Saint Petersburg, 2 years ago. Sincerely youth  - 72!

WSPR - how QRP can you go?

It is well known that some people use low milliwatts or even microwatts with WSPR. My antenna is not the best on 10m, but certainly with Es I could run low milliwatts or even microwatts and be copied at good ranges when the band is open. Some of yesterday's reports were plus dB S/N even with 500mW, implying there is 20-30dB in hand.

Pixie CW QRP transceiver

Some time ago I bought a Pixie kit from China. It was really bought to test my building skills since my stroke. In years past this would have been trivial. The kit was so low cost that even if it had to be thrown away it would not matter.

As it turned out, it worked first time. A QSO with a local a few miles away proved all was well. The crystal supplied was 7023kHz, but a very kind person sent me a 7030kHz crystal, which is the 40m QRP CW frequency.

I see from Southgate News that the Banbury Club is running a Pixie Challenge.

QRP DXing from the great outdoors

Here in the UK we have enjoyed some great summer weather. Maybe it is time to try your QRP SSB rig out portable. During the summer Es season some stations can be worked with a very modest QRP portable station: no big antennas, just a whip on the rig can be enough. I find a counterpoise can make a lot of difference. Always be mindful of "humans" who may not understand. 😉

F2 DX on the higher HF bands is getting harder, but Es is a different matter.
