ITT Amplifier at OY6FRA club station

OY1JD, OY9JD & OY110 working on the ITT PA at OY6FRA






The old 300watt module






All 4 modules installed and ready for test :-)






PA tested and out power was 800 watt on 160m but one control lamp error on module 2 :-(
So not sure if PA will be ready for WPX SSB.

CQ WPX RTTY Contest 2010

I am participating in CQ WPX RTTY again this year, and allso Single Band 80 meter again.

After sunrise saturday morning on the way home to get some sleep, I took the above picture.

The picture shows the takeoff to europe from the clubhouse, and my new K9AY antenna to the left. The K9AY is used for RX on 80m, and can be switched i four directions.

For TX the centre tower in the picture is used, and is this tower gamma feed for 80m.

For first time we have a webcam at the club and do it show live stream from the radio room where daily HF operation takes place and allso contest's, The webcam that allso is streaming live audio from the radio can been seen here...

Allso I am testing N1MM and uploading live scores to here...

EchoLink for iPhone

EchoLink have now been out there for some years now, but not any version for smartphones as far as I do know.

I was looking for new Ham software on the App Store last night, and there was EchoLink for iPhone and it's allso free.

Have now had it running on my iPhone, and must say that the audio quality is excelent.

So will recomend all Hams with an iPhone to give it a try :-)

Low Band Receiving, K9AY

Just got my K9AY antenna kit after waiting 3 months to get it from arraysolutions

I allso did get the beverage kit for one antenna, so hope to have some good RX on low bands soon :-)

So hope I will get time to install the K9AY for the CQ WPX RTTY contest.
