The Ultimate 3

Well,

Quite some time ago, I built myself an Ultimate 3 QRSS/WSPR beacon kit from QRP Labs.

Now this is a fab and groovy kit from the infamous Mr Hans Summers.

The completed kit is currently sat atop of my FT-817 and is configured to send WSPR beacon and a QRSS beacon both on the 30M band.

The output of the unit looks like this:


and is 13.12V peak to peak.

That's a power output of 420.2 mW or 26.3 dBm.


So, I've left this running for 24 hours connected to a simple 30M dipole in the garden, and here's the WSPR map of the resultant reception of my signal:


Never fails to amaze.

And here is my very beautiful Bonnie Dog:
