Hello Steemit!
I have a Yaesu FT-450D transceiver in my room and a half-wave Inverted-V antenna for 7 MHz (physical lenght: ~20 m) in my garden 7 meters above the ground.
Today I made some QRP (low power) (5 Watts) contacts on 7 MHz.
I talked to two Croatian stations. Both of them were outside in a nature reserve.
So they are used a portable station.
The first station was actually in a special marine reserve and the second station was in a special ornithological reserve.
| Time / Callsign / Frequency / QTH (Location) | Distance |
|---|---|
| 08:03 UTC - 9A8GHJ/P - 7144 kHz - 9AFF-0030 - Limski zaljev | ~ 570 km |
| 08:36 UTC - 9A2SC/P - 7155 kHz - 9AFF-0064 - Dol Dražiblato (vražje Blato) | ~ 354 km |
It's very nice (exciting/interesting) to work stations hundreds (or even thousands) of kilometers away (and also from unique places) with QRP (low power)!
The radioamateur hobby is very versatile!
