QRP QSO with Om Michael, YB7KTW using the FT-817 @ 5W and a 12V 7AH motorcycle accumulator/battery on the 40m band / 7.105 Mhz...I am on top of the Hotel which is about 25 metres from the ground..YB7KTW 's QTH is at Banjarbaru, East Kalimantan which is about 700 KM away from Bali..Propagation is only Fair on the 40m band as it is approaching late morning (about 10 AM)..He gave me a 5-5+ QSB report and in return, I gave him a 57-59 + QSB signal report..Antenna is a 12m longwire which is end fed thru a home brew coupler/tuner..No counterpoise is needed..The end of the antenna is tied to a small tree in the corner..QSO is in Bahasa Indonesia..I used the hotel's face towel which is slightly damp to "cool" the FT-817..It gets quite warm when operating under the sun..Please refer to Steve's/AA5TB site for more information about the coupler/tuner..Thanks for watching, 73, de JOY/YC0NSI..
