Ham-STILL PLAYS WITH 5 WHISKEY! UPDATE

LAHORE CHAPTER !!

 

Dear hams

In continuation to Lema area experiments using 5whiskeys on handy, today me and ARS AB decided that we will try to hit R1 and R2 and shall have QSO from our respective QTH in Lema area.

Plan was simple that I will hit R2 kalar kahar on UHF with 4watts through my new junk Handy Baofeng Dual band attached to base antenna x50 and ARS AB will hit R1 with home brew 7db Yagi from our respective QTH.

We started of clicks and got a confirmed report from AP2MKS the I was coming 59 through R2. Then AP2CJ joined us from indiana area and QSO went for another 1hr LOUD AND CLEAR. Last 20mins I attached 40watt amp to my handy but ARS AB was still 59 through yagi on 5watts.

Yagi set up was installed at AB QTH yesterday with the help of AP2SBA and ARS B. We mounted a 45ft Bamboo on 2nd floor roof top with clear 75feet height of yagi from ground level. 100ft of RG213 cable used. SWR was 1.1 before mounting the antenna and afterwards it was giving 1.5 (reason unknown). But still it was 59 on 5watts confirmed by AP2CJ and myself.

Thank you AP2CJ for ground support. Much appreciated.
