2025-01-01 20:55:04oe4dsr@mastodon.social1Success!Week 1 of the hamchallenge motivated me to do my first ever QSL card design. I used an AI text2image generator. #hamchallenge HC01S
2025-01-02 09:02:06oe4dsr@mastodon.social2Progress update...Tried listening to NCDXF beacons for the first time ever. Since I‘m not in the shack I had to try a few SDRs from websdr.com. SV3GCB is the first I was successfull with hearing 4X6TU, OH2B and CS3B on 14100. Hopefully I can try with my own rig soon.Thanks #hamchallenge for giving the input and motivation!HC02
2025-01-05 06:58:32oe4dsr@mastodon.social2Progress update...Still on webSDRs: 4L5EE can hear 4X6TU and OH2B on 21150. HC02
2025-01-05 07:06:03oe4dsr@mastodon.social2Progress update...Still on webSDRs: RA0SMS can hear several beacons on 18110.HC02
2025-01-21 09:22:52oe4dsr@mastodon.social3Progress update...Since I can only push 100W on 80 and the antenna is a dipole/V type antenna I don't expect to do inter-continental in phone and I don't know any CW - shame on me. So for HC03 I plan on using FT4/FT8 but since the audio-interface to the FT1000 is down atm this has to wait. Starting with HC04 for now, although I'm pretty sure my call wasn't used before it was given to me. But we'll see. #hamchallenge
2025-01-26 08:00:55oe4dsr@mastodon.social4Success!After some research on my call OE4DSR and history of #hamradio in OE I can only report very little: To the best of my knowledge my call was never in use before it was assigned to me. OE call signs in general seem to exist since some time between the WWs. I wasn‘t able to find a document, chatGPT claims the year 1921, but who knows if this is true. The number after the national prefix indicates the federal state, 4 being Burgenland, the most eastern state in Austria. HC04S @hamchallenge
