CROATIAN QRP PORTABLE
My setup:
- working portable /p
I'm living close to Zagreb mountain called Sljeme (actualy that is the name of mountain top (meaning "Top of the mountain").
Official mountain name is Medvednica (or "Place where bears live") , but nobody is using it in everyday speech.
So whenever weather is fine, I go to one of two hills up my house and spend 3-4 hours listening and trying to make contact.
- QRP 1.5 - 2,5 W (depending on battery status)
- TRX1: LNR Precision 3bander MTR3B (40/30/20 m), CW only https://www.lnrprecision.com/store/MTR3B-Mountain-Topper-p45010523
- TRX2: Youkits HB1-A 3bander (40/30/20m), CW TX/RX, SSB RX
- ANT: End-fed lambda/2 (LNR Precision EFT-10/20/40 "Trail Friendly") , set as L-inverted)
I took my ham exam almost 30 years ago (in ex-YU), and finally decided in Apr 2017 to nostrify to CRO ham certificate, buy small qrp station, and get my callsign 9A5MPV.
I was setting my portable station for almost a year, and finally get on-air Apr 2018.
I can copy well (same as bycicle riding, you cant forget it, no matter when was last time you ride it) at moderate speed, but still need to do practicing. 
Below are FB groups I'm active on:
73 and good DXing,
