Some better news U2

This morning I got round to sorting my arrangement for using my external LPF's with the U2. I now have the possibility of output on any band except for the moment 136KHz.
The 200mW of RF out on 474.2KHz (dial freq) WSPR produced instant reports from 2 stations best DX up to now 91Km. I have run 10mW on the band in the past and got results from the closest stations, although the band is not at its best at this time of year it will be interesting to see what transpires. With these sort of powers I have reached over 1000Km.

How many BS170 / supply volts are you using ?

I'm hoping to box mine now in the next few days, now all my hardware
is available and ready to use.

Hi Andy

Just the one and 5V, I am not a QRO merchant. :-)

Hi Philip

Tiny by normal standards but I don't have much space, it's an inverted L 5.5m up 5.5m out.

Latest 'DX' G0KTN @ 145Km.
