Re: QRP+Companion

 

Where are you located, Dave?? I am too lazy to look you up.? :-) ? If you are in the PNW, there is a chance on 20 meters.? Mostly I run my Kenwood TS-570D.? I recently took my two K2s, my Omni VI+ and my big rig (I can never remember what it is) out of the lineup.? :-)?? I actually have three K2s but that's another story.? Ah...just remembered...Icom IC-756 Pro.? My rotators are tango uniform and my 20 meter beam is aimed about at Chicago but it seems to work okay.? It is just a KLM KT-34A up 40 feet.

One of these days I will get my Elecraft KX-3 hooked up.? When I bought it (used), I put an antenna tuner in it but then never figured out how to make it work.? Gave up.? :-)? One of these days I will have to read the manual.? How's that for genius thinking?

Somewhere I have a 20 meter SST.? That would be fun to try again, too.

Take care.

Hi Jim,

I would just love to qso with you... just waiting for propagation?to improve and to get my code?back up to at least 10-12 wpm.
My antenna is a ground mounted trap vertical..? About 15 years? ago I made a 5W contact with Beijing on 10M? ..
I can hear the northern VE7's on 40M in the mornings, but my trap dipole is only 12 ft off the ground (neighbors!}?
'Dig" your QRP+?out anyway..? make sure it's still functioning? :-)
We might make it on 20M..

If you would just fix the propagation from Alaska for me I would dig out my QRP+ and put a fresh battery in it.? Mine does not put out much power so I don't or haven't run it much in the last five plus years.

The more I play with this rig, the better I like it!
It helps to read the (sparse) manual...
Just found out I can switch between SSB and CW? ?Duh !
