CQ WW 15m QRP...!!!

 
Weekend at my 2nd QTH. With lot of things to arrange at my mini farm. I decide last time to participate as QRP...!!! Yes. Why not. 

My last years company during contests is my youngest son Konstantinos who is very anxious for our next projects with QRP operations. 

Early the morning of first day, conditions where very strange so, I decide to get some hard work.  I leave QSOs logging and goes for ...wood logging !!! As shown at my stats both mornings spended  to woods.

Anyway I'm very happy about because this a "First Ever" participation from SV5 land on QRP category.  Band 15m, Power 5 watts.  

Here is my stats:

Not bad at all for my 5 watts and my modified Windom antenna.

A full ham radio day...

We wake up at 7:00...and the Windom antenna change the position that have the last 4 years. New erection ...new hopes. All goes well and ZL's comes at 17m CW with 599 signals on their grey line.

Then the promise to my young son for a mountain walk with radio operation.All equipment and antennas was prepared by him and finally the Sunday comes....

Then the first QSO on 20m band and ....finals on FT-817 blown...!!!

Back home again...

 

The Aiolus 2-way Ham Ballon project it's running and it's a good opportunity to have the QSO. 

After many tries the operator gets my call and YES....Im into the log.

We celebrate it with 2 fresh orange juices at our veranda...

 

Sound is bad, but if you increase (a lot) the volume you can hear it...  Sorry
