Biography

My name is Robert (SP5BB) and I am a radio amateur focused mainly on long-distance (DX) communications. DX has always been my main interest, and I enjoy operating in various modes, from voice to digital.

I am also interested in antenna design and construction, with a particular focus on Cubical Quad antennas. My station is based on a Yaesu FTdx10 covering bands from 160m to 4m, and a Yaesu FTM-510D for 2m and 70cm operation.

Currently, I use several antennas including an EndFed and a fan dipole for 160m, 80m and 40m bands. For higher bands, I operate a 5-element Yagi for 10m, as well as multiband antennas such as the Grazioli FE10V and MV6 covering 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m and 6m. For VHF/UHF, I use a Diamond X-510N antenna for 2m and 70cm.

In the future, I plan to expand my station with directional Yagi antennas for 2m and 70cm. I am also currently exploring digital modes such as FT8 and FT4. My mentor in this area is Andrzej SP5IDR.

Equipment

My primary HF communication setup is the Yaesu FTDX10 with a 12 band equalizer designed by UR6QW and UX4LA, along with a Shure SM7B microphone.

The antennas I use include the vertical Grazioli FE10V for 10 meters and the Grazioli MV6 for the 20, 17, 15, 12, 10 and 6 meter bands. I also use horizontal antennas, including a 5 element Yagi for 10 and 11 meters.

My station also includes HyEndFed wire antennas covering bands from 80 to 10 meters, as well as a three band fan dipole for 160, 80 and 40 meters.

An additional transceiver mainly used for digital modes is the Yaesu FT-450D with the U5Link interface.

For the 2 meter and 70 centimeter bands I use the Yaesu FTM-510D with Diamond X510N and Sirio CX430 antennas.

I also own the handheld Yaesu FT5D.

In my car I use the Retevis RT95 with the Diamond SG-7900 Super Gainer antenna.


QSL Editor TABLE PRO Professional Edition

For a long time I was looking for software that would allow me to use my own QSL card designs, print them and send them electronically. Unfortunately, I could not find any application that fully met my expectations. Most available programs provide only predefined templates and limited customization options.

For this reason, I decided to create my own application called QSL Editor TABLE PRO Professional Edition.

The project was developed for amateur radio operators who want to use their own custom QSL cards in both printed and electronic form. The software allows users to create and manage personalized QSL cards, automatically insert QSO data, print cards and send them via e-mail.

The program is currently under active development and testing. Any comments, suggestions and bug reports are highly appreciated.

Please report any problems or suggestions to:

sp5bb@mailplus.pl

After all tests have been completed and the software has been fully refined, the complete version will be made available to the amateur radio community.

Main features:
support for multiple custom QSL card designs,
automatic insertion of QSO information,
PNG/JPG card generation,
QSL card printing,
e-mail delivery of QSL cards,
fully automatic operation during digital mode activity,
compatibility with:
Log4OM
Logger32
Ham Radio Deluxe
WSJT-X
JTDX
GridTracker
and integration with services such as:

Club Log
LoTW
QRZ.com
QRZCQ
eQSL
The main goal of this project is to provide a highly automated solution for digital mode operators.
