What you can do with a IC-703 in manpack configuration
Here are some videos about QRP HF. The backpack has a Icom IC-703+ with a 9:1 UnUn (homemade). Most of time I use a Clansman/Racal foldable whip (abt.2m long). From time to time I use all kind of random antennas like the one used for a QSO with YU1MTZ at my holiday house in Busteni.

License plate YO3HJV and RVSU
While in Costinesti, I saw a little stall with custom made number plates.
I made two of them. One with my callsign and one with RVSU (Ham radio Emcomm network).
Do you like it?

YOFF and E-QSL
Astazi am "tras" tare in HF din portabil. Mda, Sunt la Costinesti si am rucsacelul meu cu IC-703 si cu antena Racal.Am reusit sa fac o legatura de exceptie cu YO2MTG aflat pe undeva pe langa Timisoara, in portabil YOFF si el. Ei bine, BANDA in care am facut legatura este cheia! Legatura a fost in 14 MHz pe la ora 10 AM! Cu 5 W, e fain!
Revenind la oile noastre... Dupa ce am lucrat o serie de statii exotice, am zis sa vad ce se mai intampla pe E-QSL. Cam ce confirmari au mai sosit.
Si am constatat ca am o multime de QSL-uri in asteptare pentru ca sunt corespondenti care nu au cont deschis pe e-qsl.
Intentia era sa aplic la DXCC-ul EQSL. Confirmate cu AG (Authenticity Guaranteed) am vreo 85 insa pentru restul pana la 100, desi am facut QSO-urile, corespondentii nu sunt membri AG ori nici macar nu au cont deschis pe E-QSL.
Asa ca, in speranta ca vor da pe blogul meu, pun o casuta de verificare in coloana din dreapta... Cine stie, poate vor face "pasul".
Intre timp, o sa ma preocup sa ma inscriu la LOTW...
Un fenomen interesant: in 21 MHz, o deschidere de aproximativ 30 de minute mi-a oferit placerea unor QSO-uri in plin pile-up cu statii din Uruguay, Argentina, Brazilia.
Some asked me "What is YOFF"?
Well, tarted in Romania in June 2009 by YO3JW Flora Fauna program has taken off in a big way and is about conservation and is aimed at National Parks, Nature Reserves and Coastlines. Like other countries, Romania has now (June 2009) a YOFF program supported by Romanian Society of Radioamateurs.
I ended my portable op so I can post here the log:

Stratospherium II - 2012 High Altitude Balloon launch on August!
This time, the balloon will have some scientific experiments on board and the APRS position and telemetry will be sent on 144.850 MHz in order to give a chance for foreign radioamateurs to directly receive the beacon.
We will digipeat the beacons onto 144.800 MHz in order to put Stratospherium II onto the APRS.FI via local I-Gates.
The photos and the movie from the onboard cameras will be available soon after the flight.
By looking around the flight area on www.aprs.fi, you will see the tracking team following the balloon.
Receiving reports are welcome to yo3hjv@gmail.com
The beacon will be transmitted into a dedicated antenna (kind of turnstile) with 5 W output power at every 12 seconds.
The telemetry (via APRS) will include: Main battery voltage, the payload internal temeperature and the external temperature.
For last minute informations, check: www.yo3ksr.ro

KENWOOD TS-990 - A Kenwood suicide
as I can see it in the leaflet, looks to me that KENWOOD tried to "steal" the market from both ICOM and YAESU! Some of the features seems to be very futuristic and interesting and I believe that either we'll se a "new star" on Broadway, either we will assist to a big laugh from ham radio market... We'll see... Here is the release photo and some informations from Kenwood about ts-990.
73 de yo3hjv, Adrian.
UPDATE:
Seems that the new Kenwood TS-990 will have a great audio, as we expect from a specialist in sound.
There are some rumors that Bob Heil, K9EID from HeilSound is under a new NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) with KENWOOD for the TS-990!
Looks like Kenoowd tend to choose the right man in the right place for the latest developments. For TM-D710 and TH-D72 they worked with Bob Bruninga, the father of APRS system.
