Exploring Hawaii’s Beautiful Beaches With QRP Portable Ham Radio

Post author By admin
Post date March 29, 2023

Heather AH7RF is a ham radio operator residing in Hawaii who has been participating in CWTs, which are short-duration Morse code contests. She uses an Elecraft KX2 and a CW Morse paddle, and operates about 75% portable in the beautiful islands of Hawaii. The majority of her early CWT contacts were with other KH6 CWOps members, but she has also made DX contacts in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and California. Heather takes her ham radio to many of the beautiful beaches and mountains in her island adventures. She loves to operate with low power (QRP) when portable in the field.

Join us for this episode to find out more about Heather’s island adventures with QRP portable radio in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone “AP/DZ”. Every aspect of Portable Ops is explored in this biweekly live stream as we discuss news, gear, achievements, the workbench, contests, awards and more – find all Portable Ops related topics here.

Post date March 28, 2023

I found this classic Vertronics Classroom Code Oscillator at a hamfest I attended, recently. These are used to send and receive Morse code with a straight key, in a setting where you can learn the code before getting on the air.

Morse Code Contact with W1AW – Ham Radio Station at ARRL #shorts

Post author By admin
Post date March 24, 2023

I was just spinning the dial on my ham radio this morning and stumbled onto the ham radio station at the American Radio Relay League (ARRL). They use the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued call sign W1AW. I can communicate back to them because I have an FCC call sign too – NJ7V. The form of communication, or "mode" can vary. Here, we were using Morse code to communicate.

Connect 2 lengths of wire to the base and clip on the connector. Search the Internet for “Dipole Calculator” to figure out the length of wire for the band your using. Raise the center up as high as possible and stretch the 2 wires out.

A few months ago I was building the ZZRX 40 Receiver, live on TikTok. Then I got too busy to finish it. Now I don’t really use that platform anymore, so let’s resume the live build sessions on YouTube!

Magic Rabbit QU 21C Dual Paddle Morse Code Key

Post date March 22, 2023

A very affordable Morse code paddle for portable operations, the QU-21C / QU-2020A key is small and light. For this paddle and all the others in the series, I took it in the field multiple times and put it under rigorous testing. Here are my thoughts about its performance.
