Second 30m Q using the QCX-17 is in the log.

While the upper hf bands are not particularly stellar, I'm using the QCX-17, largely, on the 30m band.
Just worked Marty, K1FQL in Florida on 10101.7 kHz, while running 4 watts from the QCX-17, with appropriate output filtering, to the downspout antenna.
Sometimes, I choose an operating frequency which hints at the rig I'm using, hence a freq ending in 1.7 such as in this case :0)
So that I may move around the bands quickly & easily, I have the following freqs programmed into the QCX-17's Frequency Presets:
10000.8 kHz WWV & WWVH
10101.7 kHz
14001.7 kHz
15000.8 kHz WWV & WWVH
18069.7 kHz ( also 1.7 kHz inside the lower band edge )
20000.8 kHz WWV only
21001.7 kHz
Notice the 800 Hz offsets in the WWV / WWVH freqs to allow for my CW sidetone/offset freq of 800 Hz.

QCX-series rigs are so versatile !

72 / 73,
