G1OCN

Update 20th June 2025:

Carol, 2E1DQZ, my YL and I, are having a lot of success with DATA modes on QO-100.

The dish is 35cm, the IF is an IC-705 and the transverter is the Sat Rover.

Using less than 1 watt on the 2.4GHz uplink works surprisingly well with such a small dish.

We intend to take the QO-100 equipment to active WWFF, Lighthouses and COTA, when we start travelling again.

Keep an eye on the forums and DXClusters for our planned activations.

When the WX permits, I prefer to be /P working from GxFF, U.K. Castles and Lighthouses.

Portable equipment is an IC7300, HEIL HC-4 headset microphone.

Aerial is 23ft of wire on a telescopic pole, using an ICOM AH tuner.

From the 1st January 2023 to the end of November 2023, I am working all modes on 28MHz.

Otherwise I am chasing WWFF, WCA, Lighthouses and other areas of interest on all bands and modes.

Rig: ICOM 7610 to a 7 band HexBeam. I prefer to be QRP so RF output at the TX is measuered at 10watts.
