This weekend SOTA activations

Summits On The Air - Thursday 27 February 2014 19:36
This weekend (1-2 march 2014) I will try to activate some SOTA summits in Belgium. Depending on the wetter and other activities I will try to activate ON/ON-001, ON/ON-010, ON/ON-011 and ON/ON-013.

I will be QRV in CW on 30m around 10.120 MHz. As I am still a beginner CW OP please be gentle with me. 15 wpm with a little more pause between the characters will do :-) Please no pile-ups!

I'm using a Elecraft KX3. 5 Watt output. 10 meter fibreglass pole. End feed half wave sloping antenna. 5000 mAh LiPo battery. QRP Long wire tuner.

If 30m doesn't work I will try 40m on 7.032 MHz.

Hope to work you!

Update:
Things didn't work out as planned! In the car, on the way to the holiday park, my wife told me she had booked a different park then what I thought the holiday park would be! (Amazing isn't!) The park she had booked was more to the west of Belgium. There was only one sota summit with more then one point. So no high score that weekend :-( But still a lot of fun :-)

The summit I activated was ON/ON-006 La Croix Scaille. It was 55 km driving. Walked about 2km. After 30 minutes transmitting it started to rain. I had to quit. The new KX3 worked great!

Erwin,
I have downloaded your software "PA7N VNA" v0214. I am using a MiniVNA with WinXP Pro. I have a couple of questions.

When attempting to view a parallel resonant circuit using your software, how
does one determine the exact frequency of resonance?

I am currently trying to use the MiniVNA to accurately cut 1/4 wave stubs to frequency and am not sure of the correct proceedure for doing so.
Can you help?

Also, is there manual online for the use of your software?

Thank you for your attention. I appreciate your time. I look forward to any comments you may have.
Warm Regards, and 73,
Ray, W4BYG
