We had the luxurity to operate from a parking spot to make our connections. We used an [NVIS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_vertical_incidence_skywave)\-antenna, created by PA0ABG. After getting permission over the telephone from the owner, we set up the mast on a 13x13 meter (42.5x42.5 feet) patch within a nearby field.

I admit being wrong here, I had no problem accepting the fine. It is important to respect the rules of the park. Make sure you are not in a closed-off area and start putting pegs in the ground. For the ground and the life in it may be disturbed. Do not annoy others with your hobby and respect the rules.

However, I transmitted at 15 watt, which does not really make you stand out. Only one Polish station and one German station managed to hear me to make a contact. What often happens is that after I claimed an empty frequency, suddenly other stations start talking over my signal. Without asking if the frequency is in use. Because of my weak signal, I am probably not heard by them when calling CQ. So I cannot really blame them for claiming the frequency, but it did lessen my fun that day.
|
||||
|
||||
After a while I decided to seek out PE0CD's station, which was also set up in the same park. He allowed me to make use of his setup (an Icom IC-705) so I managed to make enough QSO to make my activation count. This saved the day for me!

Operating practice:

Once you have an available frequency, valid in the bandplan (with 5khz above and below also free), you can get started.

However, I transmitted at 15 watt, which does not really make you stand out. Only one Polish station and one German station managed to hear me to make a contact. What often happens is that after I claimed an empty frequency, suddenly other stations start talking over my signal. Without asking if the frequency is in use. Because of my weak signal, I am probably not heard by them when calling CQ. So I cannot really blame them for claiming the frequency, but it did lessen my fun that day.
|
||||
|
||||
After a while I decided to seek out PE0CD's station, which was also set up in the same park. He allowed me to make use of his setup (an Icom IC-705) so I managed to make enough QSO to make my activation count. This saved the day for me!

We hadden de luxe om vanuit de parkeerplaats met de camper een verbinding kunnen maken. We hebben een [NVIS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_vertical_incidence_skywave)\-antenne gebruikt, ontworpen door PA0ABG. Deze mochten we met toestemming opstellen in het paarden-veldje van [manege Meulendijks](https://www.manegemeulendijks.com/). De paarden waren die dag niet in het veldje, dus we konden een antenne van 13x13 meter opstellen.

Een fijne, koude, vroege ochtend om 07:00, met de vorst nog steeds aan de bomen. Het was rond de 3°C. Deze keer zat ik in het meest noordelijke deel van de Stiphoutse bossen, aan de Kievitlaan bij kampeerplaats Croy.

Ik probeerde een minimale setup dit keer. Een rugzak, antenne en mast allemaal meegenomen met mijn fiets. Het is nog steeds niet optimaal, ik neem nog steeds teveel mee en het is transport is ook erg onhandig. Ik moet nog steeds manieren ontdekken om mijn apparatuur te minimalizeren en makkelijker te transporteren.

Ik gebruikte een endfed antenne gemaakt door HyEndFed, die ik aan de mast omhoog heb gehesen en de antennedraad aan een boomtak heb vastgemaatk. Op de 40m band werkte het perfect en ik had mijn tuner niet nodig. De volgende keer kan ik dat apparaat ook weer thuis laten.

Maar, ik zendde uit op 15 watt, wat er voor zorgt dat je niet echt sterk staat. Slechts één Pools station en één Duits station konden mij horen om een contact te leggen. Wat vaak gebeurd is dat nadat ik een lege frequency heb geclaimt, dat er opeens andere station beginnen te praten over mijn signaal, zonder te vragen of de frequentie in gebruik is. Maar vanwege mijn zwakke signaal, wordt ik waarschijnlijk niet eens gehoord door die stations als ik CQ roep. Dus ik kan ze niet echt verwijten dat ze mijn frequentie afpakken, maar het verpestte wel een beetje mijn plezier.
|
||||
|
||||
Na een tijdje besloot ik om PE0CD's station op te zoeken, die ook in hetzelfde park stond. Ik mocht gebruik maken van zijn setup (een Icom IC-705), wat ervoor zorgde dat ik toch genoeg QSO's kon maken. Hierdoor telde mijn activatie toch nog mee, dus dat heeft mijn dag weer goed gemaakt!
