My #elecraft family has grown. #hamradio

I tried JLCPCB's aluminium PCBs for the first time. Not as a PCB, but to create a front panel for my SO2R controller project (SO2RMiniPlus). I love the result and it is too cheap to be true (even if you consider that about 15% of the alu boards will have imperfections on the silk screen) #hamradio #electronics

Finally reached top 100 in the world wide #morsecode RBN activity ranking! https://rbn.telegraphy.de/activity/SO5CW #hamradio

Spent a few hours in the May VHF/UHF contest with my 4el LPDA from central Munich. Conditions were decent, the best DX was HA6W on 2m with 662km, and OM3W on 70cm with 505km. #hamradio

Got all the stuff together for my next project. To save time and money, this will be a perf-board job, and except for the #RaspberryPi Pico W, all parts came from the junkbox. The project? This: https://github.com/n1kdo/pico-w-dual-serial/ #hamradio #electronics

A few days ago I issued the 1st EHSC membership certificate, since taking over the responsibility for the club from Olaf, DL1OP (R.I.P.) in May 2023. To join the EHSC, three "sponsor" QSOs in #morsecode with existing members at a speed of 60 words per minute (300 letters per minute) are required. #qrq #hamradio

Today I added more than 700 Catalan and Spanish proverbs to the #morsecode plain text trainer on https://LCWO.net/ - thanks to Pere, EA3AGK for providing the data. #hamradio

Evaluating a new #morse key...

I still have not managed to make a contact with GB50PUNK, but I just worked AO16DIO - https://www.qrz.com/db/AO16DIO - to celebrate World Heavy Metal Day 🤘 #hamradio

Klingt gut. #heidelberg
