I inform you that from May to October 2012 will be in service for the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon.
Being housed in a military base, will be doing radio compatible with work schedules. I will be active in QRP with the call OD5/IV3XNF - YAESU FT-817ND radio, antenna Dipole Carolina windom (80-10 m). , Notebook PC, and CW modes DIGI prevail.
QSL via eQSL (AG), Direct to HomeCall and LOTW.

I subscribe to the DX Code of Conduct and respectfully suggest you do too when trying to work me.
If I copy part of a call, be assured I will persevere until I get the full callsign. Calling blindly when you clearly do not qualify is more likely to get you black-listed than to make me give up on the partial call I already have.

Thanks, Luigi

For anyone who needs convincing of capabilities of the FT817ND

after removing the dipole Carolina Windom, i set up for a operation in the my army base, running 4-5W into an 10 metre long wire up a fishing pole. Antenna fed via a 4:1 current balun and tuned with my homemade ZM-4 atu, you can see the stages of the assembly of the ATU on this site, the page (technical notes and qrp) and power for the rig supplied by 12V 10A Microset switching power supply .

                                         Balun 4:1

              On APPUNTI TECNICI & QRP is described the

                       construction of the balun.
