Musste ja heute beim #wimo Newsletter etwas lachen. nicht über Wimo aber über #Icom. Der IC-718 ist zurück (Markteinführung war das Jahr 2000!)😂 Echt jetzt? für 918€ und das ohne Tuner? Ich verstehe die Marketing Leute bei Icom (allerdings auch bei Yeasu) nicht. Wo soll der sich jetzt genau im Vergleich zum IC-7300, FT-710 oder FT-891 positionieren? Als Einstiegsgerät würde ja ein solches Gerät durchaus Sinn machen aber dann IMHO bis ~600€ #amateurfunk

I only will use 50 watts SSB, btw. If at all. I prefer QRP wherever possible.

As this Amazon 1:9 UnUn really is looking 1:1 like the CG BL-09 "BALUN", available at #WiMo and rated 100 watts, too, I really would be interested in what is inside of it? The same wee core? The same tiny wires?

I always wanted a nice, small, manual tuner with a cross needle meter - we’ll here we go 😃
#mfj has closed down operations, the founder decided to focus on family and relations, now way into a justifiable retirement age - and I fully understand and appreciate that ❤️
Martin, K5FLU has had a major impact on the #hamradio world - I sincerely wish him all the best 🙂🙂
Things being as they are, order what you always wanted while there’s still something left 🙂

Activating the #SOTA summit OZ/OZ-004, ‘Sorring Låddenhøj’ - only the third VHF activation ever of the summit and last time I activated it was in 2016.

Using a small logperiodic from #wimo, I managed to get 7 QSOs, one of them 40km away. Not bad! 😃

As a small proof-of-location I brought my old GPS-based UTC and Locator clock, my first #Arduino project, built exactly 10 years ago. A project which, btw, caused me to by my first oscilloscope 🙂
