I’ve done the morse exam 2 weeks ago, the paper arrived today. Yeey!

Mozsó (HA2PIC) slept at Noybi’s (HA1TN) place in Budapest, and we talked on the radio in the evening.

He was using a wire on a 4 meter fishing rod on the balcony as the antenna. I was in my QTH in Tata, using a W3DZZ. We were talking on 3791KHz.

At last! My greatest work completed! :)

Finally I was able to talk with HA1TN Noybi, he’s in Budapest in a building estate with a 4 meter fishing rod antenna on the balcony. We could talk using only 5 watts. Great!

Yesterday we were at the Burabu with my friend HA1TN Noybi. We spent almost the whole day there, it was very good, and at last, I bought a nice pair of morse keys. An older man made them at home, they are very solid, I hope I’ll be able to use them on the air, [...]

We put up the 12m steel pole today. Here are some photos:

The next thing to do is to rent a mobile crane and put up the antenna. I haven’t decided yet which coax feedline I’ll use, RG58 or RG6 (we have lots of RG6 in our shop).

We put up 2 new antennas to the roof in the last few weeks. Thanks for my father for helping me out, I’m pretty agoraphobic on this steep roof. :)

The first one (it’s on the left on the pictures) is a brand new Diamond X200, the second one is a homebrew j-pole. I’m using the [...]

Yesterday we were at the top of the Gerecse mountain. The weather was pretty windy on the geodesic tower where we set up our QTH, and unfortunately our CQs were seldom successful, looked like not too many people sat in front of their radios around that hour when we were there. We only made about [...]

On last Sunday, we went to the KM-005 SOTA summit with Mozsó (HA2PIC), Gabesz (HA2SZG), Noybi (HA1TN), AI3iT and their girlfriends to have a picnic, test our new portable antennas and have some QSOs. The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a great time.

Noybi and I were the HF squad, Mozsó worked the VHF [...]

I still don’t have my HF antenna up… :( Spring is here, and my dad had some free time on the weekend, so we started to prepare the place where the steel pole will be standing in the corner of the croft.

After breaking up the concrete we put down a grounding pole [...]

Geocaching without the need of a GPS! :) We’ve been at this place in November, so it was quite easy to find the crate.
