Hello Stefan,


I hope just some days. Meanwhile I can transmit WSPR, WSJT-X etc...

A short WSPR test got me a decode from G3XKR at 630 km. Last winter I got r=
eports from up to 2000 km (on 501 kHz) with the same rig.

Hi Rik,

Good news! I hope to meet you on the band soon when the PA is working again=
. How long will it take to repair it?
Will you try WSPR during that time, using QRP?

Dear all,


from today on Belgian holders of a HAREC licence are allowed to use 472-479=

So far the good news.

Bad news is that I started up the TX (after some months of rest) and after =
one minute the was a "bang". A short check showed that the PS failed (went =
from 15V to 22V). The PS was fixed (15V stabilisator replaced), but the 22V=
 also destroyed some IC's that are not on the sheft in my shack. I have to =
order them and it can take some tome to get QRV with full power (250W).

Fortunately I stille have the 6W transverter working, so I can be QRV with =
low power (estimated ERP =3D 20 mW) from now on.
