The first time I switched to 40m, I heard K9MUG/4. I was so anxious to
work him that I forgot to adjust my power for that band.
I got my QSO with K9MUG/4 followed by KK5OQ, VA3DX, AD4EB and WX4TM. No
biggie until I realized that those stns heard me while I was running
QRPp, i.e., LESS THAN ONE WATT! I QRO'd immediately to 5 watts after
that. ;)
Yaesu FT-897D transceiver operated at 5 watts into an OCF 5-MHz 28-gauge
insulated wire stealth antenna up 45 feet in heavy foliage trees next to
I-75 in downtown Atlanta industrial area. SGC SG-237 Smartuner. microHAM
USB rig interface. Tigertronics SignaLink SL-1 sound card radio
interface. WriteLog 10.53e with RTTYrite.
