Re: CLAREMORE, OK Hamfest this weekend and my BITX40
Thanks to all that commented. First- I DO NOT expect it to work like any commercial rig. I am shocked that someone would think I'm expecting more than it is. I've been a ham for 50 years, Home brewed

Re: 40 meters dead (again)
Find an SDR near you (I use sdr.hu) and look for strong signals on 40m and then see if you can go hear it. It helps me a lot.
