Holiday antenna: G5RV in the vineyards


The usual antenna I use during holidays. This year I "planted" my G5RV around the vineyards of IV3-land.
This year QRO (50-100W) as IV3/OT1V: life is too short for QRP!

QSO with K1JT FT8/20m



My first QSO with a "celebrity", Joe K1JT.
A celebrity as a man (a Nobel Prize) and as a radio amateur (the developer of that marvellous piece of software called WSJT-X)

JT65 WAS. The last State: HI


After years of State hunt for WAS, finally HI this morning!

K2GT doesn't really seem a Hawaian call! But yes, he's there in the Big Island.
