Lovely sunny Monday afternoon after a week of rainy days with a cold wind. I need some time to relax and be in nature to recharge my mental batteries. The OKFF-1058 is very close to our home. Short but very nice trip.

We visited our parents in the Moravia region because my mom celebrated 65 years birthday. We spend almost a whole Friday preparing food and other stuff for the celebration that should be the next day. The GMA OL/ZL-112 is very close to my parents' home - about 2km on foot. The weather was beautiful, the sun was shining, almost no wind, a great time to make some more activation. 

It's been three months since my last OKFF activation, the weather got better in the afternoon - a good time for a new activation. I've been on the OKFF a few years ago but only had an FT-817 with 5W and INVEE. As far as I remember, I barely made 44 QSOs that are needed for a valid activation. 

This Maraton was great! Thanks to my family I could spend most of the weekend on the air. Unfortunately, no beams here, only multiband vertical at about 28m (84 feet), dipoles for 20/17/15m in the same height and sloper for 80/160m. Pictures are on https://www.hamqth.com/ok2cqr.

The first activity this year was on a sunny morning with my son Petr. I used KX3 with an EFHW antenna on a tree. Finally, I made 57 QSO. The weather was superb but after midday, it gets worse, even started snowing.

Propagation was quite good, I made QSO all over Europe. 

Simple fast log entry - a tool to enter QSO from your SOTA/GMA/WWFF activations and create the ADIF file - everything just in your browser. It allows you to enter QSO very quickly using a simple syntax. Data are stored only in your browser. The website does not collect any data about you.

I was heavily inspired by the FLE by Bernd, DF3CB - https://df3cb.com/fle/. His application works only on Windows and Linux using Wine, but I needed something working on macOS and/or Android tablet. I didn't need all the features, just wanted to log QSO from my WFF/SOTA/GMA activation.

Another nice trip with my youngest son Dan. The OKFF-1952 Nerestský lom was close to our destination. Finally, we made 50 QSO on CW. There are a few photos.

My first activity this year. The OKFF-1571 is about 7km on food from my QTH. We had a sunny day and after a very busy week, I need some time to relax :). I already had LiPol battery charged, packing KX3, EFHW antenna, paddle and other stuff was ready in a few minutes.

After two years as OK7AN I dediced to return to the old callsgin. The new one was good, quite short but I could not get used to it, maybe because I had been using OK2CQR for over 20 years. The decision was made, from 1st of May 2019 I returned to the air with OK2CQR. 

We celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Czechoslovak Republic (Czechoslovakia) on October 28, 1918. I'll be one of the special callsigns on the air. You can get very nice award for QSO with OL100 callsigns. I'll be active as OL100C.

More information about the award is on OKDXF website related to this event.
