Re: Lakes On The Air?
Hi Jim:
I would love it if you'd start the ball rolling. I would not want to "force" the rule of actually being on the water, as that might force some people who want to participate into buying some

Re: QDX went "bang", literally, Q10 blown
Tom,
Could you describe what "going hard for a couple of hours" entailed? What voltage do you operate the QDX and what's the typical current draw during transmit?
Thanks!

Best idea yet - QOTA

Re: QDX lost 30m and 20m rx/tx

Mitch,
From what you describe it seems like you've got a poor solder joint somewhere along the 30/20m LPF path.
So, a close visual inspection of the board around that area is a good place to start
