My friend, OM Rakesh Mishra, VU3PUA from Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) on 20 meter band radiates 500 milli watt signal all over the India with 55 report. I pleaded him for the "secret". He kindly gave me the ckt diagram. With his permission I am posting this. Hope it will be useful to all hams.
He is a great ham, From Bhopal he did help in Nepal Earth-Quack Emergency comm. in 2015. His blog is http::/vu3pua.blogspot.in
His transceiver is entirely homebrew of his own design. His transmitter is just 500 milli watt. I have seen many hams using big rig set to 5 watt and establish the com and then drop down to milliwatt, but VU3PUA use just 500 milli watt for all work.
Recently in August 2015 he has made a 6 bans SSB QRP transceiver using the Chinese kit. So, you are sure to hear him in all bands.
The values of the Inductance and capacitor is a as under....
Here is the circuit....
I am thankful to VU3PUA, Mishraji for sharing this wonderful design and hope to try it one day. There is one or two more silent features which after clarification will put here.
I will try to put here exact arrangement of antenna , mechanical constructions and their pictures. I am searching for the pictures in my database....
How to tune it ? put the diode probe with VOM meter / VU meter. Tune it for maximum deflection. Please use the analogue VOM. Don't use digital multimeter.
That's it folks, the wheel have been re-invented and use it.

Two pictures.
Radials are random length fitting to the QTH but alteast quarter wave and straight. fThe Vertical portion is 16 feet 7 inch. Quarter wave legth for 20 meter.
In the antenna pictures you will see the VHF antenna is also used with same cable and the tank prevents VHF going back to HF set.
Was awaiting confirmation of one small finer details regarding the size of the coil. here is the picture. May be it is about 3 inch long and space wound.

ReplyDeletenice write-up about mishra ji's vertical antenna (QRPP) !!
ReplyDeleteI have worked with Om VU3PUA on 20mt.
ReplyDeletehis tcvr with 500mw is doing great. This shows that qrp is fun.

Nice write up.Ssb 6 in in the process...dds for that is completed :)
ReplyDeleteMy qrpp pwr is just not More than 350 MW
ReplyDeleteWhat is your cable lenth and cable no. are you able to get the same reports in 2019 when sun cycle is at its low.
