More 50 MHz MSK144 meteor shower reception. The sunspots might not be there but the meteors are. Video shows how to take advantage of them to receive signals from over 1000 km away on 50 MHz.

Lots of people on working pedestrian mobile stations in the UK. I was beside a swamp using an FT817 & 20m wire end-fed inverted vee favouring long path to Europe. Not much editing so very long.

A very simple but very good bidirectional horizontally polarised loop antenna for VHF. I use it on 144 MHz WSPR with some great results.

Reviewing and testing the ozQRP.com MST400 40m SSB QRP transceiver kit.
In this video I describe this new Australian-developed QRP transceiver kit and give it a work out from a local beach. The MST400 covers 40m SSB and puts out about 5 watts. It is a conventional circuit, making use of the common NE602/SA612, IRF510 and LM386 combination. An 80m version is also available, as is the DDS VFO for use with other QRP projects. The MST400 kit is short-form, including the circuit board and some major/hard to get parts, meaning you must source most parts yourself.
I do several tests, including receive sensitivity, opposite sideband rejection, transmit frequency stability and general usability. In all cases performance was very good to excellent. While not suggested for the beginner, the successful builder will be rewarded with an excellent transceiver ideal for home and portable use. I highly recommend it.
Thanks to Peter VK2TPM for his old camera (used for this video) and Leon VK2DOB for the loan of the pre-built unit. Further details including the manual and ordering information can be found at http://www.ozqrp.com
