  In every ham radio operator's journey, there comes a crossroads: should I stick with my trusty paper log or switch to dedicated logging software? It's clear that transitioning to an electronic log offers advantages that simply can't be matched by our old paper companion The real dilemma is how to navigate the dozens of freeware and payware logging software options available. Which one is the best? The answer is simple: the one that best meets your needs. I've tried almost every logging software for Windows, both payware and freeware. While I found most of them quite functional, each had its strengths and weaknesses. What I was looking for was a program that offered CAT control, a solid cluster system, smooth performance even with thousands of QSOs, support for digital QSLs like LOTW and eQSL, comprehensive award tracking, and an advanced filtering system to display specific fields. I had found a decent suite, but it struggled to handle the 50,000+ QSOs in my log, taki...

A: how do you hear me now? B: You're S9 A: Wait... now? B: Wow! Now you're 9+20. What did you do? A: Ha ha ha, I turned on my power buddy C: hooooola hoooooola test test sorry, how do I sound? A and B: very strong 9+40 C: great thanks, I'm using hoooooollaaaa... 4.5KW. This is what happened a few nights ago on 40 meters with local stations. They didn't talk about anything but their signal. After countless tests, they were very happy, satisfied  and said goodbye. I kept  looking at the S-meter, which only showed S3 of noise.  Don't get me wrong. This post is not another one that wants to criticize power, but the correlation between happiness and power. Is happiness measured on a logarithmic scale like signal strength? To the posterity the tough sentence.. I repeat, everyone is free to use the power they deem appropriate, but my question is: what changes? If I can hear you well, what's the point of adding more power? But even if this operation is, let's say, t...

  Looking back, I can hardly believe I’ve been a licensed radio amateur for 34 years. I was trying to get back in time when radio ham passion lit up. Mumble.. when did my love for radio begin? My earliest memory takes me back to watching tv series such as Truck Driver and CHIPS , I was a little child. I was fascinated by the way these people could communicate through their radios. Since my childhood, I had a habit, something I still maintain today—gazing at antennas on rooftops. Those iron sculptures, reaching skyward, left me speechless. One day, at my uncle’s house, I went down to the basement with him to grab some tools. Let’s just say my uncle wasn’t the tidiest person; the underground room was packed with boxes and all sorts of random stuff. From one box, a CB walkie-talkie radio peeked out. I picked it up as if I had found a priceless gem. My uncle glanced over and said, “It doesn’t work, Daniel, but you can have it if you want.” I really was a happy camper. I remember...

A new (old) ham radio blog   I have decided to bring back the NOTOM section after more than two years. The idea popped into my head while I was operating from the Amazon jungle with the callsign OA9DVK. NOTOM is my take on the well-known NOTAMs in aviation – it stands for Notice To OM and is just a collection of thoughts, ideas, and feelings to help you get to know more about who I am and what I do. I’m not running a power station – I am a ‘little pistol’ with a big passion for radio and DXing. I had the privilege of operating from Peru for eight years, lately with a Peruvian callsign. Being on the ‘other side of the pileup,’ with the whole world calling you, was amazing. It taught me a lot and helped me grow. Now, I make the most of the modest setup I have. The love of radio doesn’t depend on where you are; it comes from the heart. My heart still races every time I turn on the radio and tune in to a station. I hope this section doesn’t bore you. Wishing you all the best, good DX, ...
