Hi QRPlabs,
I put my station on the air today as part of the New Years blitz planned by Dave Hassall WA5DJJ. We have 15 participants in the Las Cruces, New Mexico group. We have an active builders group that I facilitate. I'm glad to finally have my station on the air and have been very solid into K4HBK grabber all afternoon and into the evening. I'm running a Hans Summers kit with modified filter values, otherwise unmodified except for using a PIC 12F629 with software provided by N0QBH and programmed by WA5DJJ. The antenna is an inverted-V at about 30feet on my tower with about 50feet of transmission line.
I'm currently at approximately 10139955Hz and running approximately 220mW (5V supply only).
I look forward to continued experimentation in the new year.
