Hi all,
I have had a QDX for a few years. I built it and made it for 9 volts. It has done a great job with over 500 grids worked. In the past I might have made 20 contacts in a day but recently that number has diminished. This week I might have 1 contact. The power out put on 40, 30 and 20 is around 3.8 watts into a very good EFHW antenna. I always use a tuner to reduce pressure on the finals. Also, my clock is synced correctly. I use WSJT, Logview and Gridtracker.
So, here is my question and I don't know anything about this. Can there be a problem with the signal that is being sent? I have ruled out all mechanical issue that I can but a station will answer my CQ and then they never complete the exchange. I answer a station and get a reply and then nothing else. Very frustrating and it is getting worse as time goes on.
Any suggestions?
