How Do I Make QSL Cards?

How Do I Make QSL Cards?

QSL cards – how do you make them? A QSL card is a written confirmation of a contact between two amateur radio stations.

But how do you go about designing them? The Ask an Elmer panel discuss this and their recommendations on card design.

We Worked into ZL with 1 Watt using an IC-705 on 144 MHz!!

We Worked into ZL with 1 Watt using an IC-705 on 144 MHz!!

Yes that’s right, a 1 watt contact using a Icom IC-705 on the 144 MHz (2 meter) band across to New Zealand (ZL).

Strong tropospheric propagation was responsible for such an event happening. We also worked New Zealand on other higher bands too! Check out the video here:

FT8 is alive on 40 meters! How many stations will I hear?

FT8 is alive on 40 meters! How many stations will I hear?

I keep hearing "the bands are dead". Well in this live stream, let’s see how much I can hear! I have my radio running on the 40 meter (7 MHz) band running FT8.

As you can see, Gridtracker is running with a realtime map including the RX calls, RX DXCC and realtime receiving data. How many stations will I hear?

I will be running this from Monday 28th Dec 12:00 UTC through to around 22:00 UTC which is 11pm to around 9am local (all night).

See if I hear you! How far away from my station are you when I decoded you? Let me know in the live chat and comments!

Antenna is a simple EFHW antenna.

Best headphones for the shack?

Best headphones for the shack?

On a recent Ask an Elmer live stream, the discussion turned toward headphones. What headphones do you use? A good pair can help in pulling out that hard to hear station from the noise.

Whatttt? The Icom IC-705 Outputs How Much Power??

Whatttt? The Icom IC-705 Outputs How Much Power??

I recently watched a a power output test on the Icom IC-705 done by YouTuber TheSmokinApe and I was intrigued as to his results on 70cm. He measured no more than 6 watts output. I decided to haul my service monitor (HP Agilent 8924C) out of the cupboard and test my 705 to see if I got the same results.

Watch TheSmokinApe’s video below:

EXTREME Ham Radio DXing…Australia to New Zealand on 2.4 GHz?

EXTREME Ham Radio DXing...Australia to New Zealand on 2.4 GHz?

Join us for a portable adventure trying to send our 2.4 GHz (13cm) ham radio signal from Tasmania, Australia (VK7) to New Zealand (ZL).

On December 13th 2020, Hayden VK7HH and Richard VK7ZBX travelled out portable to try and work Nick ZL1IU at the top end of New Zealand. The Hepburn tropospheric data had good to very good predictions of a duct to carry VHF and above signals across the Tasman Sea.

The ultimate goal was to try and work the 2.4 GHz band, a band that had not achieved a contact over such a great distance before. Were we successful?
