Got a new Yaesu FT-991A and took it out to the field today for some 6m monitoring.
This morning I made SSB contacts with BV3VK, BU2EO, and JA6RJK.
I’m still pretty new to this (I’m not even fully comfortable with FT8 yet), so please bear with my rough operating skills.
@BoscoMac A self-test display of -9.00000 on HP 3456A indicates that Test 9 has failed. Test 9 is typically associated with the AC converter or related analog circuitry.
@aborgnino It has always been this way; sometimes, you can even hear CNR signals interfering with one another (due to the audio from different transmission sites being out of sync).
CNR also interferes with Radio Taiwan International.
2025 – 业余无线电起步
2025 – Amateur radio journey begins.
设备落后,技术有限,感谢友台包容。
Basic station and limited skills - thanks for your patience.
累计 45 QSO / 38 QSL。
45 QSOs & 38 QSLs.
QSL卡寒假寄出,期待更多通联!
QSLs will be sent during winter vacation! VY 73!
@AmsatSpain What a pity! So far I’ve only achieved 5 QSOs using SO-124!
SO-124 is an excellent FM satellite, and I hope its lifetime can be extended a bit longer!
I now have my amateur radio license. This is BG6CNI, and I look forward to seeing you in the air.
