The Ultimate 3 (Again)

Well,

You may remember back here that I showed you an Ultimate 3 kit.

Mikael, SA6BSS was kind enough to get intouch and let me know that my QRSS beacon was outside of the QRSS band!

So now I have RTFM and actually calibrated the unit properly, here's my QRSS signal on 30M viewed on his Grabber today:

I think I've fixed it now!

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:
