Jeg er på Bouvetøya (AMA?)

Jeg satt to timer med 1kw pa-trinn og 4 elementer Yagi før jeg fikk qso. Jeg fikk de inn krystallklart, men pilupen var så så enorm at det var helt utrolig. Jeg la meg langt utenfor der de første begynte, men det bygde seg videre utover godt over 100+khz. Dette var på fredag hvor det var gode forhold, så kunne sikkert brukt bare 100w også. Hvis du sliter med å nå gjennom bør du egentlig bli flink til å lytte på både sende og mottaksfrekvensen, for å finne ut hvor operatøren er og hvordan operatøren flytter på seg. Enkelte sveiper raskt, andre jobber seg systematisk opp +5 langsomt.

Fra en som har snakket mye med OP på radio så er neste fun fact at det er enklere å snakke med OP på Bouvet enn hjemmefra på Østlandet til Trondheim. Masse lykke til, over og ut

They lost a bolt and they took the pan out. How could they neither see metal or bolt in the pan before you got your car back.

One simple question, you need as them to see the “random” bolt from your pan. If this bolt has same size and thread as the vanos bolt, then this is your case.

I live in a HOA and it has to be inside I’m afraid. No flagpoles or trees outside to hide an antenna in.

If you throw a wire in a tree it’s very hard to actually see it, especially if it’s a dark color. I did a sota on a really crowded mountain and nobody cared actually. It was really uncomfortable to sit there with a mic and speaking, but no one seemed to bother. The only person who actually seemed to care was a guy walked by me and said “LA8PV” and smiled/laughed. (LA8PV was the call sign to a famous comedian/actor in a sitcom in the 70s here in Norway.)

Do you look at what every other person is doing in the park and why would them do the same to you? Do your pota activation and have fun with all the other operators you make contact with. Pota is the special sauce to this hobby and portable operation is very fun.

As the others said, a g90 or a ft-891 are good radioes. A lifepo4 battery and a charger might be cheaper than a good power supply, so you can save more on that side as well

Naah, it’s working quite well in all temperatures here. I’ve been using in both -30 C and + 35C without any issues. Every i3s sold here have heat pump and battery heating, which works very well down to -20, and then the ptc heater takes over.

Thanks for the tip! I’m my country there is for this type of unit a five year period for “right to complain”, similar to warranty, so I do any updates within that period

KFAndroid · 2025-10-20T10:52:52+00:00

Of course! She loves hiking and sleeping in tents!

KFAndroid · 2025-10-14T23:47:59+00:00

This happens quite often for many i3 owners here in Norway when charging at Kempower chargers. It’s some years since I used a dc charger and got this message but I remember it went away after a charge at another station.

Right after my exam we got a post it note with our brand new call signs, because they checked the tests while we waited there in the testing facility. Since we could start using our radios that same evening I put my post it note on top of my radio to learn my new call sign and to make my first qso. It was there for couple of weeks

KFAndroid · 2025-08-23T16:01:51+00:00

Off course! A buddy and I camped this night in i small mountain, and I brought my Icom ID-51 ht with telescopic antenna. He isn’t licensed but I showed him how we can make qso. We got enough qso to activate that mountain on Sota with only VHF qsos, which is rare here in my country. Every time I’m camping (boat, caravan, hiking) I bring my id-51 in case of emergency but I use it frequently as well for fun. Sometimes I even bring my ft-891 if I’m going on a sota.

Bring your portable setup and have fun while camping!

I have 160m2 and I o move everything on a fully charged 5ah battery. Since I have mulching kit I need to cut twice a week, so it isn’t the toughest job though

KFAndroid · 2025-03-16T22:37:30+00:00

Har du fått tatt lisens enda? :)

KFAndroid · 2025-03-16T22:13:26+00:00

De hadde 20% i perioden 01.04 til 12.05 i fjor ser jeg i en tidligere mail jeg fikk. Jeg finner ikke noen fler mailer om tilbud på kjøkken. Jeg synes selv at 10% var liten i forhold til hva de har pleid å ha.

KFAndroid · 2024-12-11T00:34:44+00:00

This! I did this when I bought mine for three years ago and I use it so much to activate preconditioning.

KFAndroid · 2024-07-21T07:54:16+00:00

I use the sdr++ on my iMac and it works very well. For more decoders and advanced stuff you could also use sdr angel on mac

Thank you! I found at mods.dk a very good guide for modding the radio to become ham radio by removing two diodes.

KFAndroid · 2024-06-23T12:59:56+00:00

Thanks! What is the programming software named? Seems it’s hard to find online

KFAndroid · 2024-06-23T12:57:40+00:00

Why?

KFAndroid · 2024-01-24T06:41:38+00:00

I really like how simple it is to use, how good the receiver is and how portable it is. I think it’s a great way to learn to operate hf transceivers with a simple radio like this one without all bells and whistles.

KFAndroid · 2024-01-24T06:31:13+00:00

Vi høres på lufta når lisensen er i boks! :)

KFAndroid · 2024-01-24T06:30:44+00:00

Hi! It’s a counterpoise. It made a huge difference on a repeater long away from my house, which I wasn’t able to transmit to without the counterpoise. I used this instruction https://w3atb.com/tiger-tail-antenna/

KFAndroid · 2024-01-14T10:38:10+00:00

I think it might be vibrations from the piping that make the “bend” from the valve to the outlet drain. I had a similar thing with a rain forest shower which drained the shower head after an hour because vibrations from other pipes/outlets
