  • CW at 19 WPM using QCX-mini QRP transceiver, BaMaKey TP-II iambic key and dipole antenna as an inverted-v supported by a 9m telescopic mast. Audio recorded using Sony ICD-UX570 digital recorded.
    World Wide Flora and Fauna (WWFF) activation of the Glenrock State Conservation Area (VKFF-1319) located south of Newcastle, Australia. Activation on Saturday 15 July 2023 operating on 40m (7.032 MHz) and 20m (14.065 MHz).
    Apology for the variable audio quality, I had some technical issues and the wind caused havoc with my antenna and telescopic mast. I have edited parts of the video to improve quality and work flow.

      Thank you Alex for the feedback, I am glad you enjoy the videos. Portable operation is great fun with the small QRP radios such as the SW-3B and QCX-mini. Hope to catch you on the bands one day, 73

    Fantastic CW and scenery video! TNX for doing these videos. I placed an ordered last week for QCX mini 20M. Excite to give the QCX a go.

      Thanks Dennis, it was the first time in a while using the QCX-mini for a park activation. It is a great little QRP transceiver. Nice to get the DX contact using 5W, 73

    another great video, James. Thanks for posting. I could use a new key for portable ops - thanks for showing the BaMaKey. Looks great. 73 Ron

    Great stuff James, I love my QCX minis! A lot of bang for buck. I have them for 20 and 40m. You've inspired me to use them more...

      Thanks Andrew for the contacts. I also have 40m and 20m versions of the QCX-mini, as seen in the video, I still need to install the AGC module in both. I ordered a QMX and hoping it will be shipped very soon, 73

      Thank you Kishor, it was good to get the DX contact using only 5W, band conditions were difficult with strong QSB, 73
