Equipment

January 2022 update: Now I can to provide the APRS. DIGI and iGate setted up on Microsat WX3in1Plus2.0 + Motorola GM300 platform and use 144.800 MHz frequency (the European standard). Else one possibility to connect to the service 24/7 in NW-part of Moscow. Welcome!

June 2021 update: The main element for successful QSO is antenna. I had a long dream about and I fulfilled it. Since this time I'm working via the vertical "Delta loop" antenna 86-meter long (the geometry proposed by UA1XN). I was making it the whole past "Covid" year step by step. This modification was discribed in the Russian magazine "Radio" in 2005 year, november. Some changes: I connected the LDG RT-100 tuner between 70-meter coaxial cable RG-213 and 1:1 balun. After the balun - symmetrical 150-ohm powering line (two 75-ohm paired coaxial cables) and the main element - a wired delta-loop. I've gotten the hi-efficient antenna with the major direction NW (Finland) - SE (Asia) and SWR 1-1,3 on all HF-bands. These directions are new for me and I hope to get interesting results.

My second (reserve) antenna is nearly 20 meters "LW" adjusted via 9:1 "Un-Un" by M0UKD. For VHF I'm using a "2m Flower Pot Antenna" described by VK2ZOI - home-made half-wave vertical coaxial dipole. And the "Radius GM-300" by Motorola older than 20 years works perfect with it ))

My normal call on HF is 20 watts output. if You don't hear, I'm powering up to 120 watts maximum. When You are calling DX, I can try to call You with /QRP, 5-9 watts really. Be indulgent, please ;)
