Primo evento stasera (perso).

Tra l’altro è un Club che ha in comune le nostre stesse iniziali M Q C :joy:

Ps
Si tratta di serate gestite a dibattito aperto a tutti, stile tavola rotonda. Mi incuriosisce anche come gestiranno gli anglosassoni queste cose… Da noi sarebbe o tutti in silenzio o persone che si portano via la parola

Ciao,
in base alle mie esperienze lavorative passate dovrebbe essere tutto molto tranquillo e, soprattutto, ordinato. E guai a interrompere chi sta parlando: si zittisce immediatamente e lascia la parola ma tutti ti guardano … diciamo male.

Non mi stupirei se usassero il protocollo delle NET. Interessante

Se qualcuno fosse interessato con altri OM Europei abbiamo cercato di fare partire una net settimanale. Di MQC ero presente io e Stefano Ik5lsr
Non è partita perché eravamo troppo pochi (in 3) con ed il terzo molto lontano quindi difficile trovare un momento della giornata adatto per sentirsi tutti.

Se fossimo in più ci si può riprovare.

Ovviamente CW

Ecco il verbale del primo incontro:

We had 13 folks attend last weeks MI QRP chat. The topic of the week was - What rig do use the most for QRP? Jim”s QRP ring was K2. He uses a 41 foot half wave antenna and likes to hunt POTA with it. Stuart showed some photos of his QRP Labs QCX. He uses a tuner and runs on 40 Meters. He has a HB 12 volt power supply. He also showed a really cool 2 valve crystal controlled transmitter. It has a 6V6 and the circuit is from a 1949 book which makes the circuit as old as he is. Dave’s rig is a KX-2 with a bunch of accessaries. He likes the flexibility and the ability to operate all modes including digital. An Eagle One is the antenna on the RV and has had surprising results with the Elecraft AX-1. The KX-2 and AX-1 are easy to transport and power with a Bioenno battery. Stan likes his Xiegu X5105 ultra portable HF+50MHz QRP transceiver. It is small, has good battery life, and he gets good signal reports. Pete had a slide presentation showing his gallery of QRP rigs. He confessed that he is a radio junky. His list included, SDR Cube, K2, KX-2, KX-1, FX-4CR, KH-1, Penntek TR-45, and his latest a Wolf transceiver by UA3REO.

Come vedete c’è già un secondo incontro a programma con tanto di tema.
Ma perchè non ci proviamo anche noi a tenere una net così?
E’ tutto in mando al buon senso di tutti e (soprattutto) del net controller.
