Snowman with Club72 on Saturday 3.February 2024

From my QTH down to the Beach it's a short walk for abt 500m only LOC still KM39ii.
30 Min earlier I was down at Restaurant on the Beach having a hot Tea.

 
WX very nice, sun a bit windy temperature started from 11C at QRT abt 13C.
I decided to take my position in the wind-shadow, it would be better for the Loop.
Very fast I was ready to go ...

 
My equipment:
- PFR-3 QRP CW Tranceiver makes abt 3 Watts
- mag.Loop Antenne DIY - especially optimized for 20m and ultra portable
- Wolfwave for cutting QRM away
- PWR 12V Akku 7Ah. Started with 13V and endet with 10 Volts (its abt 10 Years old)
- Mini Paddle (DIY)
- Headphone

Saturday 3.2.2024
Short after 12 UTC I heard first known OM - it was Peter OO7Z - the QSO was suddently in Log. After every abt 15 Min another QSO.
After 1 1/2 hrs I made a break, went in to the restaurant for a tea again.
 
Vy amazing was especially:
- QSO with RX3PR - he had 1 Watt only
- the two QSO - chasing my Swiss friends - they where for SOTA on mountains in HB9
  
Resumeé:
Totally satisfied. The Mag.Loop worked great.
Also the Radio - it was a really good choice.
Wolfwave - vy helpful otherwise Call are gone in QRM.

My transmitted Exchange was:
feelt RST - 3 W - 11 C (last two QSO 13 C)

Same position - Started on 07:44 with UR7VT - the 20m anyway was not open.
The last QSO 13:00 with IU8CNE.
 
Again vy satisfied.
When I turned the Loop I had disturbence in the Radio - but was no problem.
The key (magnetic hold on a plate) was always a bit moving - hard for keying

My transmitted Exchange was:
feelt RST - 3 W - 8 C

I am vy satisfied.
Fact is also with QRP (I had 3 Watts) and a magnetic Loop Antenna it's able to have satisfaction and fun.
