I have been organizing ham radio expeditions to the South Pacific for over ten years. I go alone or with a few friends. We make several thousand contacts and visit another cool place on Earth. The pandemic stopped everything. The number of trips to the Pacific in the world has decreased almost tenfold. Sanitary regulations […]
CQWW DX Contest SSB 2021 on QRP
Hello everyone! As you know, I have been promoting QRP for many years, also in competitions. Unfortunately, until 2019, working in low-power competitions did not make sense due to propagation on the upper bands. In 2020 already I returned to QRP at CQWW. Usually, I choose one upper band to sleep at night. And what […]
Wireless Communication in Polish Home Army 1939-1945
August 1 is another anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, so important to all Poles. This is an excellent opportunity to present the heroic struggle of the soldiers of the Uprising in terms of military radio technology. Thanks to my colleagues SP3LD and SP3CSD, I learned about Louis Meulstee’s publications on […]
My radio shack
Radio shack – this term does not need to be translated into another language. Every ham knows what this means because he has his own … Whatever it is, it is everyone’s pride. During contacts, we often wonder – what does our correspondent’s workplace look like? Below we present an open gallery of “radio shacks” […]
QCX transceiver QRP in SSB version
In the post “QCX transceiver QRP CW ” Piotr SQ5JUP described his experience with the QRP Labs mini-transceiver. Below is how to build a QSX SSB from the new QCX+ kit. The contents of the QCX+ kit from QRP-Labs http://shop.qrp-labs.com/kits/qcxp is shown below. The boards were assembled step […]
Happy Easter !
Health, happiness, good humor, tasty egg, wet dyngus and, above all, good luck in the SP DX Contest 2021!
Transceiver uSDX with Arduino Nano
Personally, I think that a “real” SDR radio is one where the radio signal is received by the antenna and then (possibly after passing through passive filtering circuits) is sampled by an analog-to-digital converter. Further processing of the signal takes place in the digital domain. However, the SDR category also includes other devices which to […]
Software Defined Radio with Arduino Nano
Arduino is a favorite toy for electronics enthusiasts. There are thousands of designs around these modules. Here’s the next one – the simplest and cheapest SDR receiver in the world! A “real” SDR radio is one where the RF signal received by the antenna is directly sampled by an analog-to-digital converter. Further processing of the […]
Terminal for non-contact body temperature measurement
The non-contact body temperature measurement terminal detects people with a fever that may be the result of COVID-19 infection. It has a unique face recognition algorithm, so it can be used to register people suspected of sickness and can be used to verify the identity of people and grant people the right to enter the […]
Winter 2021 in the Karkonosze Mountains
Winter in the Karkonosze Mountains is as picturesque as ever. The 2020/2021 season is different due to covid accommodation and ski bans. Fortunately, driving and hiking are still allowed, so who can go see the beautiful views and breathe the fresh air. The current temperature can always be checked at the Meteo-Karpacz station. Where to […]
