YOTA Czechia 2024 – Day 4

| August 21, 2024

Dobrý den! (I’m trying to pick up some Czech whilst I’m here!)

Today was all about kit building, which is one of my favourite aspects of amateur radio. I love to just put in my headphones and solder away! Today we made an end-fed, multi band antenna and a QRP FM receiver. Most of my operation outside of my G6UW ops is QRP, so these kits will definitely be making an appearance at home!

This evening I made over 100 QSOs on 40m. The OL24YOTA call is proving very popular at the moment, and it’s great to practise my pile-up management (especially with four other operators in the same room doing exactly the same!)

We’re lucky to have a great station setup here at our accommodation. We can operate 10/15/20/40/80m bands, plus 432MHz on satellite and also the remote station at OK1RCR.
