QSO map and radio info.

Check out my Amateur radio map below to see all of my latest ham radio contacts. Most contacts are QRP/portable but a few are PSK 31 when I get the shack up and running.

My Yaesu 817 with a homemade vertical antenna and connected to a Elecraft T1 tuner makes a pretty good portable set up. In fact I often get great comments from the quality of signal being sent.

Its a great feeling when you break through on a contact with a operator using up to 1kw and you have a 5/8 5/9 copy with them using 5 watts.

For more info on my radio hobby check out my page on QRZ.com and search out my call sign M0GYY (mike zero golf yankee yankee)

The link below will take you to a map showing my latest contacts around the world, it makes for a great visual of how my signal transmits remembering that I am only using 5 watts of power. A single normal house light bulb uses 60 watts of power?   QSO map
