QDX gettin' out on 20 !


n4qa at_hotmail.com
 

OK, so it's only one way, but it adds evidence that this little QDX - no bigger than a pack of cigarettes - has a good transmitter indeed !
Over the past 24 hours, I've made probably 50 or so 2-way contacts on the 80, 40, 30 and 20 meter bands.
But, 20 is providing a bit of Delta Xray !
My antenna, fed by an Icom AH-4 remote autotuner, is an end-fed wire, approximately 80 meters in length, averaging 5 meters AGL - not so good, especially on the lower bands.
Anyway, I'm having a blast.
Thank you, Hans, all the gang at QRP Labs and, of course, the gentleman who sold the QDX to me and all list members/owners who lent tremendously helpful hands in getting the QDX going !

How do you tune the AH-4 with the QDX?

Hi Gary.
All I have to do is punch the 'Tune' button in WSJT-X and the AH-4 does the rest :0)

Wait a minute!
I do have a pbs, an LED and a resistor.
So, it's WSJT-X 'Tune' followed by my pressing the n.c. pbs.
