Operating location from a top in alps c2600m
Now this was a perfect SOTA location, I stayed on top overnight and used the flag pole to my right to support a 40m/20m dipole, you can see the fixture I connected to, the little ring clamp, as soon as the cable car stopped for the night out came the radio gear, it even snowed! If I had taken 2m yagi would have been amazing location as line of sight was > 80miles, the Eiger and Jungfau (Bernese Oberland group) are in the photo over my right shoulder. Temp dropped to below minus 15 but the morning operating the grey line was fun 100 or so QSO SSB qrp as HB9/M1KTA/P.

Great Job!
I have been following your progress for the last several hours while you have worked and posted the photos.
It was like setting there with you, helping with the solder.
Loved the adventure!

I reworked an other softrock build recently as was blogging it then realised I had messed up the photos so thought better do the Ensemble TRX.
BTW those BS170 are damned sensitive devices as you might have seen from blog. I fritzed one somehow and the PTT stopped working and had me foxed to a while.
Actually in shack operating too as well as building something else so the elapsed time really is taking it easy.
The board is a mess underneath and needs cleaned up, I'll go over every solder joint and clean off the excess flux etc.... I don't leave projects like this.
Interesting that. Have you any idea where I could get one of these ready built? A second hand one would be fine. I doubt that my eyesight is up to the surface mount stuff and am reluctant to try and make one myself. I am thinking that a lot of people might build and abandon these after a bit of use and I might get hold of one in working order.

Tony, unfortunately I don't. I suspect you could try Tony Parks http://www.kb9yig.com/ first (drop him and email). If you manage to get hold of a kit then let me know and I'll build it for you.
Thanks for that kind offer. Very generous indeed, but since yesterday, I got in touch with Tony and he has offered to make me one up and send it over. EXCELLENT!
Thanks again. I'll let you know how I get on with it when it arrives.
