I want myself with you after-divide about know-how with a new operating mode on KV. I am before in season to my certificate home made rig renew WARC bands 18 and 24 MHz. Then I am yourself sayed, that would wasn't bad improve stability VFO, authentic LC VFO middling be enough on CW and SSB, though at digital modes already no. I am buy the DDS VFO and after disappointed from acre noise and beat frequency I am it place with a sad heart to the top shelves cabinet. Well after time I spoke to enthusiastic admirer PSK31, Milan OM3TPN and he myself convince, let that try with my 3 Watts. So I am root DDS VFO and join toward rig look like the external VFO. When I am that everything connected, I was loading under WIN 3.11 PSK31SBW and I justify level modulation, I called to Milan that it so try, because I am at all don't know, what is he like my PSK signal and if itself at all anywhere give therewith PSK review...

Yet Milan's PC slick spoiled - Murphy also this time did not regret - so it remain only on me and my PC. It listen entirely pretty, on the monitor itself initiation to discover the first words and sentences PSK boral. Jose CU2AHD called on 14 071 CQ and when him nobody uncalled 5 minutes', I yield and call him. On my monumental pleasure on the monitor discovered jotting: OM3CUG/QRP de CU2AHD ... thus we are successfully and I with shaky fingers do QSO on PSK. Jose are praised that He snag new country on the PSK and I too, hi. Afterwards it already rans look like on strip, after connect with GW3ZCFcalled me on his frequency Willi TF3VS as well as was gladly, that He have on PSK new country.QSL card from Willi is already at home! Thus I am try with 3W and vertical call up CQ on 14MHz and when called me JA5FP a AA3HO, I misunderstand. Well nicest surprise I still only wait - DU3NXE called CQ and NOBODY he did not call. Thus I call him and Chuck said me amusement that otherwise at all haven't seen my signal on tuning waterfall, but I write on the monitor 100%. Chuck had into antenna 600 W and I three... Then I called again CQ and call me YB5QZ - I had not yet Indonesia neither on CW.

Till I have worked by PSK mode around 220 QSO and 100wkd/60cfm earth DXCC countries. From HB9, G cames me direct QSL also with return postage. Most stations live on 14MHz, when 21 and 28 MHz open, strike make a lot of pretty DX contacts without pile up. Whenever is 20m band by now closed, on 80m that revive.

DDS VFO has step 10Hz, my antenna is vertical HF8V from OK1DLA at the roof block of flats at height 25m, does UFB. I have anymore LW 30m on 80m band - from windows on 4. floor runs denial wall on outside roofs and then very aslant down to lamp. Computer nothing power: 486DX100MHz, after to install WIN95 I am trying LOGGER 7.03 and use it yet.

PSK is excellent operating mode by their slim bandwidth with QRP, but it requires ultra stability VFO. I had contact also with GW5PH/QRP 1W and HB9JNH/QRP 3W and we are agreemented thereon, that PSK with QRP is really “BIG FUN”.
