Comments:
One of my best QRP S&P efforts. FlexRadio 1500 ran flawlessly with virtual audio
cable and virtual ports all working. Flex Knob is essential for contesting with
filter selection available at your fingertips and knob locks on SDR so PC mouse
can stay on logging program. With 250Hz filter working up the band is like doing
an MRI brain scan as the software slices up the chaos into quiet discrete
signals. Really quite amazing and the best CW contest rig I've ever used.
Worked VK (ok it took a couple of attempts) but found a 6W sending CQ and
worked him first try on 15 which was hot. Honest not much difference in
requests for repeats at 5 watts compared to 100 on CW. Thanks to all the
fabulous ops who copied the QRP effort. Antenna BTW mainly a Hy-Gain Explorer
with 40-meter dipole extension and Butternut vertical (used mainly for working
Caribbean). Running dual monitors out of new I7 PC that runs 3% CPU with SDR
and contesting software.
