Planuje se, ze jako radioamater v ramci programu ARISS bude mit interview se skolami, dale by pak mel navazovat spojeni s ostatnimi radioamatery a vysilat obrazky pomoci SSTV v modu Robot36 na frekvenci 145.800MHz FM.

On Saturday 6th september 2008 father and I performed one day ham radio trip. First we visited Zdenek OK2VMJ and Franta at Karasin jn89dn (712m asl) who camped there and participated in VHF contest and on journay back home we said “hello” to OK5Z crew at Cyrilov jn89ak (662m asl).

I am reading Simon 2E0HTS blog and in his last spots impressed me video how Simon and his friend M1PAC working QSOs over low orbit satellite in FM mode. Followed information about IOio antenna documented by EA4CYQ. It looks quite simple and I decided to make this antenna – first step of satellite communication, I hope.

I was browsing LoTW site and found again ADI report of matched QSOs (QSLs). I realized that my la2.pl perl script could process it. I tested it imediatelly and it works excellent. Now are two tables in my stat.

Last weekend in August father and I visited international amatuer meeting in Holice. This year we decided to stay both days, Friday and Saturday and we stayed for night in Pardubice in our favourite hotel.

It is already over 2 years when I got my second callsign OK4BX and became more active on shortwaves. During that time I tried differents modes , bands, contests, transceivers, antennas. Now, I think, it is time to make little recapitulation.

I joined this PSK contest orginized by European Psk Club. It was great opportunity collect in short time many points to their award program and to give few points to real contesters.

I participated also this year in this contest. I was ready both modes CW and SSB, all Qsos were made as search and pounce. I used dad's IC 756PRO2 75watts and multi band vertical antenna.

This contest was next opportunity train little bit cw. On Friday, day before, dad modified cable between optoisolated interface and TRX to control cw keying. Configuration of Writelog contest logbook to produce CW on DTR signal on separate commport was simply unsuccessful, already for several times. TRX always lock. I gave it up after next 30 minutes and decided to try N1MM logger.

Občas je možnost si popovídat i "pa russky" takže tahle ta tabulka přijde vhod. Hlavně když dávaš svůj "pazyvnoj"..
