I just got K2K and WM3PEN on 15m FT8 with my sBitx. This little radio never ceases to amaze me.
I'm still chasing K2K on SSB.? Half the time I can't even hear them - and all the time the hunters are being poor-sports - shouting over each other and QRMing the operator.? ? I'd like to get it but will settle for 12 + Philadelphia.
This was the burn-in weeked for the 20 watt homebrew sBitx.? In addition to the 13 Colonies - I've worked a few Dx stations from here in Northern Virginia - including Brazil, Russia, Italy and Estonia.? ?I have contacts on 80, 40, 20, 17 and 15 meters.? Waiting for 10 to open up again for the acid test.? But at least I know the rig and off center fed dipole are working well and getting out.?
