[KO6IUE]: [Solar Conditions]
Happy to make contact with you.
I obtained my Technician and General Licenses in July 2025 so I’m new
to amateur radio.
My current radio setup:
- HF Transceiver [Hermes Lite 2]
-
An entirely open source and open hardware low-cost direct down/up
conversion software defined radio (SDR).
- SDR Software [piHPSDR]
-
An open source program that operates the Hermes Lite 2 transciever; it’s
well-written, easy-to-use, and full of features.
- Amplifier [60dbm.com
100W Neptune]
-
An outstanding switching amplifier built in Ukraine. I was so happy with
the purchase my next project is to use their [RF
sampler] to setup Pure Signal (aka adaptive digital predistortion)
with the Neptune.
- Antenna [MyAntennas.com EFHW
4010-P]
-
A tuned, portable, end-fed halfwave antenna the covers 40/20/15/10
meters deployed in a [sloping
configuration] around 7 meters up a tree in my backyard.
- Network Analyzer [NanoVNA]

A completely open source and open hardware handheld vector network
analyzer (VNA).
