QRP

From Alexa – From Alexa, From Alexa. So today I am happy to publish his first article and thus his debut on this portal. Together with his contribution, I open a new topic – QRP, in which we will include everything, what are QRP ticking. Oliver M3SDO wishes you a pleasant reading. So let's get down to it:

Slovak domestic designers and QRP "specialists" are waking up from their winter sleep. We can observe this phenomenon all over the world. Major manufacturers have launched new QRP devices and kit manufacturers have launched new RXs and TCVRs. Modern miniature components are used more and more in constructions. However, the old parts still work perfectly and we do not need a magnifying glass when building with them. Update of OM CallBook and other sites. So nothing new under the sun. Thanks to the English G-QRP-Club, we managed to get several kits of the excellent NORCAL transceiver to Slovakia 20 on 14 MHz. Its quality is equal to factory equipment that costs minimal 50 000 Sk.

The first NORCAL 20 set by Sana, OM3TY, world master of QRP construction, who not only made him, but also improved in the spirit of radio amateurs, so the development continues constantly. That's the beauty and excitement of home construction. NORCAL is a product of a radio club in Northern California ( NORth CALifornia ). The latest "bomb" he made is TCVR DOB 80. You can see and try everything at the QRP meeting 24. maja na Vrutkach.

Other NORCALi are being built in radio amateur boxes Mira OM1RA and Laca OM7EW. Dusan OM6IX works on 3,5 MHz TCVRi HIGHBRIDGE od firmy Walford Electronics. I have two projects under construction for a year, However, I lack time to finish them. I have to admit that I have projects under construction 5 but they have been sitting at the back of the shelf for six years. I am sure that many of you enthusiasts are in a similar situation, who ran out of time.HIHI. Our projects are so small that they can easily get lost at the back of the shelf and when they fall into the trash, so hard to distinguish them. Update of OM CallBook and other sites. Also end on 500 W is already clearly visible on the shelf, which is why our QRO fanatics are probably more successful. Update of OM CallBook and other sites. In addition to taking care of children and family, Igor OM3CUG has already done so 100 zemi na pasme 3,5 MHz s 3 watts and try an isotronic antenna at the moment 14 MHz to EH antennas 21 MHz. Rado,OM2ZZ, in addition to preparations for VKV races, he focused his eyes and made small TX KnightsMite, which is a cover name for the well-known TX Pixie, but made with miniature flat particles.
As the boys see it. I just take a deep breath and all the miniature flat parts on my table move to the other end, and I can't do it without a proper magnifying glass. However, it is a wonderful technique and once a person gets the hang of it, it works.

"Tulak" Jirko OK2MJ has a two-electron TCVR on the back of the shelf in the OM3KFV club. 3,5 MHz floods intended for field operation in the SNP race. The next time Jirko appears, we'll probably have to tie him to the table to finish it. HIHI.

We have no news about other domestic constructors, their development activity is strictly confidential or they don't have time to speak up. Tell us what you are doing, even if it doesn't work. Someone will help you revive it.

The meeting of domestic constructors and QRPaks will be held in Vrutki on Saturday, May 24 2003 O 09.00 in the morning at the cinema on May 1. Is that asi? 10 a minute's walk from the station to the lion. Bring your small and larger "miracles" to the constructors' competition. It could be RX,TX,TCVR, antenna trays, knocking, measuring device or other accessories. If you want to have your presentation or need additional information, register in advance with Viktor Chila, OM0AAJ Jano, tel: 043 4224252. Zaloznikom je Dusan Juracko, OM6IX, tel: 043 4286364.
