A few photos taken on Langdon Cliffs (White Cliffs Of Dover). Spent a couple of hours on 2m and 20m. The Belgian field day was on and several QRP contacts were made by M3OYQ and M3WFO using a 1/2 wave whip mounted at 45 degrees on the ford ka. (M3OYQ and M3WFO operating 5w on an FT-817). Some more distant contacts were made by M0GGO (formerly 2E0BEH, M3JOM) using his new SOTA beam, and 50w with an FT-857).
Also managed to get one contact in italy with 2.5 watts and a telescopic whip on the FT-817, however the chap on the other end wasn’t happy as it was an Italy only contest - doh….. Still it proves what can be done with a good location and QRP power levels, you dont even need a huge antenna!!
