Photography, Amateur Radio, World Wide Flora and Fauna, 4WDing and Camping. Enjoy a bit of Four Wheel Driving, nothing too adventurous & tend to “Tread Lightly” as to not damage the environment to much. I have my Nissan Patrol set up to do most of the things that I write about on this blog. Got to love a mountain top campsite! Other items include a 60 litre Fridge/Freezer and a Netbook running OziExplorer. The trusty Nissan Patrol. A website that I have been using lately. Have spent the last few years tr...

https://vk3hn.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/tcf-does-rd-homebrew-7mhz-ssb-superhet
QRP, homebrew, SOTA, bricolage. TCF does RD — homebrew 7MHz SSB superhet. Last weekend was a contest double-bill with the Remembrance Day and Lighthouse contests. I listened for a few hours Sunday late morning on the MST400 and my TCF/ Super-VXO. Receiver strip, now with replacement audio stage using a TDA7052. Instead of the prescribed LM380. TCF-receiver-strip — SA612 mixer, 8.867MHz IF filter, SA612 product detector, TL072 op amp, 2N2222 BFO. With a 10MHz IF and 3MHz VFO, which sounds sweet. Condition...

QRP, homebrew, SOTA, bricolage. Gentle Annie VT-078, and not a single Bunyip in sight. Gentle Annie is a 670 meter mountain in the Bunyip State Park north of the M1 between Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs and Drouin. It is one of the southern most SOTA peaks in the Great Dividing Range and in the VK3/VT region. The approach to be found on sotawatch.org. The first station I heard and worked was Peter VK3YE, operating his newly modded. On the drive south and out of the park the rain really dumped, comple...

QRP, homebrew, SOTA, bricolage. Mt Strickland VK3/VN-030 and Mt Vinegar VK3/VC-005 on a winter solstice. And other Mt Strickland activator’s blogs.

QRP, homebrew, SOTA, bricolage. Unplanned dual activation of The Hump VK3/VE-019 with David VK3IL. Where the ascent begins, on the main summit road near Cresta valley. The Hump looked innocuous enough at the start of the trail. 1 km seemed insignificant. Other activators had written about getting up there in 30 minutes. The Hump is very accessible and a popular summit for holiday-makers and activators alike. Here are some pictures (Marshall VK3MRG. Inadvertently testing the lower bound of the MST400̵...

https://vk3hn.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/a-center-loaded-squid-pole-vertical-for-7mhz
QRP, homebrew, SOTA, bricolage. A center-loaded squid pole vertical for 7MHz. The parts that make up the center-loaded vertical — the blue fishing spool holds the driven element wire and its loading coil. The red spool holds the 4 radials with banana plugs. The termination box and 3 meters of coax provide the feed. VK3/VE-019). And having been to The Horn. Andrew VK1NAM came to the same conclusion for similar reasons. He whipped up a 5 meter long loaded vertical. A cable-tie is used to secure the top sec...
