Todays activation of POTA DA-0394 Elbtal zwischen Schöna und Mühlberg Natura 2000 didn‘t go too smooth: First the antenna wire broke and then I had massive RFI problems with the keyer sending stray code. My apologies to all for the sloppy cw! Quit after 13 QSOs.

Am ungeputzten Gartentisch in der Sonne gesessen, das neue Funkgerät getestet und dabei ein paar Contestpunkte verteilt. Das Leben kann so einfach sein!

Finished putting together my AX1/DS1 clone. Used a 115 cm whip, SO-239 connector, and some PVC. Total cost <$10. SWR <1.6:1 across 20m. Tested it with the running about 0.3W and smartphone and was heard in Colorado and Oklahoma. Folds up nice with the mini tripod I had sitting around.

Been making contacts around Europe on 20m SSB using this stupid little radio today! It’s roughly the size of a packet of cigarettes (analogue vape) and puts out about 5w.

Holy crap! Just made an contact on 20m using my running about 350mW and my cell phone running the FT8 Radio app. 800 miles to . No direct audio connection, just holding the phone near the radio for both decode and transmit. Really did not expect that to work!
