Re: W5MMW/VE3 Portable Operation (APE) August 19-26
W5MMW Matt Manjos
:) Thanks! I've been surprised how well it's actually worked out being forced into QRP. I am used to operating with a buddipole from a porch in the middle of a bunch of concrete apartment buildings, so being out in the open with an OCFD strung up at about 50 feet is a huge improvement. Worked a good number during the SEQP today. Going to try to get on the air each day this week.

Hey Matt, So it won't go over 7 watts? I don't see the problem. That's about 5 db better that me.  Seriously though I know full well how frustrating it is when your equipment lets you down at a critical time. The bright side is that I have seen your signal several times but the conditions here have been absolutely awful on 20m so I haven't gotten through yet but I will keep trying. I would like to capture at least one APE this season. I have seen several running around in the RF jungle but no luck yet. GL Joe KA1PPV #1482

[Attachment(s) from Donald Backys included below]
| GPS left on dashboard in the sun Looks like a good lesson to learn. I bet this also applies to Cell phones, tablets, digital cameras, and other devices that use lithium batteries. You think this ma! y be a reason why the US Postal Service will not ship electronic devices that contain lithium batteries any longer? GPS was placed in its bracket in the windshield and left in the sun. The battery overheated and exploded ! Look at the damage ! You may like to share with others.

More info about the SEQP can be found at http://www.hamsci.org/seqp-rules And remember, if you plan on looking at the eclipse, you can do so twice (once with each remaining good eye) without appropriate solar glasses (bad idea, don’t try), or you can get a pair of ISO 12312-2 certified glasses and look at it again and again, as well as look at other things afterwards too! -- 73, /steve - W1HS

Re: W5MMW/VE3 Portable Operation (APE) August 19-26
W5MMW Matt Manjos
Some bad news... it seems the finals on my almost brand new IC-7200 are toast. Only my second time taking it out since picking it up in June and it refuses to transmit above 8 or so watts :( The rig jumps from <1.1 SWR to ∞ and powers down if I tease the power past 8W. I get the same symptoms with 3 different known-working antenna setups, on multiple bands. The silver lining is that it seems to be functional if I keep it below 7W. So it looks like I'll be working QRP for the rest of my APE plans (as long as the rig holds up). Hoping to be on the air most of the day tomorrow (and during the SEQP). Not sure if the radio is actually sending 7W, but that's what it will be set to, going into either a buddipole or a OCFD depending on the band. Cheers - 73 W5MMW #2552
