This recording [Box of rain] I made during a live broadcast. Two things I like come together : Space and the Dead :-)
Day 6 [03202009] STS-119 wake up call - Deployment of the S6 solar array on the ISS
Box of rain - Grateful Dead
Music played for mission specialist John Phillips
Discovery's crew attached the segment to the end of the S5 truss, completing the starboard side of the station's structure. The segment includes the fourth and final set of solar arrays and batteries for generation, storage, regulation and distribution of electrical power for the station.

![My Rockmite 2.0
Today I repaired my Rockmite QRP tranceiver. There was a resistor in the 12 Volt-line of the amplifier burned. It works again :-)
I added a SWR-meter and an antennatuner for when im using an wire-antenna.
So now I have a working Rockmite 2.0
Sorry for the shaky video ... I have only 2 hands ...

![Velddag Regio04 Amsterdam Vondelpark 26 juni 2010
Een impressie van de velddag welk georganiseerd was door regio04.web-log.nl
Behalve veel toeristen en mensen die langsliepen met vragen zoals wat doen jullie ? waren er ook nog zendamateurs zoals PD1RP, PA0ASD, PD0DEN, PD0FDZ, PE1ABK, PE0CDN, PA3DMI EN PD ...ja en die zijn we even kwijt [hallo Almere meld u even!].
Er hing en Fritzel FD3 voor HF en voor 2 was er een diplool qubical-quad.
Diverse verbindingen via de repeaters in Amsterdam en Zaandam zijn gemaakt op 2 en of HF waren vooral 10 en 20 in trek met de ft817.
Over de grens zijn o.a. F6GPD, EF1W, EW8O, IT9RYH, BG5AFD gewerkt en PA0END was zelfs op 2 en 20 in phone en cw te vinden.
Kortom een geslaagde dag !

![PA3DMI /Portable QRP Countryside
Today was another sunny day so now I took the Yaesu FT817, BaMaKey, Elecraft T1 tuner and my homemade Endfed to the countryside just outside Amsterdam. I Made some changes to my Endfed and now it works perfect. Made QSOs with EW1MM [mixed-mode cw/usb], OH3GZ [usb], II6POPE [usb and NO not the real Pope] and CS2MD/L Lighthouse-station [cw]. I even heard Japan JI1DLJ on 17 meters but no qso. Not bad for only 2 Watt and a half-wave for 20 meter. PA3DMI /Portable QRP Countryside](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UkruvAfbByA/mqdefault.jpg)
