Xiegu G90 – Transceiver for QRP operations, and digital emissions
QRP work has many advantages, especially during holiday trips. I have been practicing it for years – especially from the Greek islands. However, I have a problem: the elephant has stepped on my ear which I use to receive CW. Last time I was actively practicing CW on the RBM-1, as an operator of “Operation […]
Es’hail-2 (or QO-100) for beginners
I bought a 80 cm satellite dish (16 Euro), a converter (4 Euro), installed it on the roof and set it up on the satellite (Dish Pointer was very helpful for azimuth and elevation finding). In our conditions, a 80 cm satellite parabola is a reasonable minimum when it comes to the receiving antenna. I […]

SP9VFD antenna system for EME
EME communications have fascinated Rafał SP9VFD from the very beginning of his amateur radio hobby, ie since 1991, when he received the first license at the age of 15. At the time, his favorite reading was UHF guide “Poradnik Ultrakrótkofalowca” by SP6LB. However, it was only in 2007 that he managed to carry out the […]
GNI-r6 controller for RAS, SPX AZ/EL and BIG-RAS azimuth/elvation rotators
A new rotator controller model is available for rotating VHF antennas in azimuth and elevation. Below is a quick guide for the GNI-r6 antenna rotator controller. Introduction. The GNI-r6 controller supports one dual rotor with DC motors for azimuth and elevation rotation that has pulse outputs (pulser or reed switch). Antenna rotation is possible with […]
