5W1SA/QRP
I was on QRP following date/time
20/Mar/2013 0458z to 0530z FT817/Li-ion/10m Long Wire + Z11
22/Mar/2013 0445z to 0550z FT817/Li-ion/10m Long Wire + z11
Occasional QRP operation from Malololelei, top of the Upolu Island.
FT-817 with 4 series connected Li-ion batteries that produce 5W (Five Watts) output.
I maybe operate short time due to a lot of QRM of Mosquitos.
White long tube (home brew battery holer) is the power source of 18650 Li-ion batteries.
