QMX+ becomes a DX magnet with a simple portable antenna
I went to a local (Florida) park over the weekend with the QMX+ and an MFJ-1979 telescoping whip. The whip is 5m (17 ft) tall - a 1/4-wave on 20m, and on higher bands when retracted appropriately.

Hello, I'm here :-) Not really a design improvement, more a comment to the existing system. The BMS I got from Am... is not really doing it's basic job, or at least what I would have expected. I

QMX L401 B Winding Question
I am building the QMX and am winding the L401 torroids. Because I have the 15m-60m kit, the L401 is two torroids. Even though I double-checked my torroid windings on the L401A torroid, after soldering
