QCX Mini 40 with QLG2 GPS module

… just need to find a nice enclosure for the GPS module.

GPS module is providing frequency calibration, timings and location for the QCX Mini whilst it transmits WSPR on the 40m band.

GPS module shows a 3-Dimensional fix (Lat, Long and Altitude) , 7 satellites fixed and tracking a total of 11.

QCX Mini WSPR (20m) – with QLG2 GPS

Attached the QRP Labs QLG2 GPS unit to the QCX Mini 20m this morning (see additional post).

A nice set of signal report for the first WSPR transmission, 105 spots from one burst with the top ten (by distance) listed below. Best DX was KL7L in QRA Square BP51IP (Alaska) – just NW of Anchorage:

KL7L – BP51IP Anchorage, Alaska
