Comments:
Decided to fire up the FT-817 bought at Dayton 2002.
It was a lot of fun being REAL QRP...Cushcraft R7000 with base @ 10ft above
ground. The 2.5 watts didn't even move the power meter enough to see what
was really happening, hah! Supposedly the 817 puts out 5 watts if the little
power meter blinks but it never seemed to blink so I assume it was always
2.5 watts. Worked some DX too: G, DL, S5, VE3, XE, KP4 neato! S58A was loud
on 20m and DL1IAO is a good op!
"Lance" Armstrong won his fourth Tour de France this past weekend.
So I decided to use his name for the contest. Surprised that someone
in Texas (his home state!) didn't use it? Three weeks of bike riding
isn't easy :-) If you get a chance to see the highlights check out Lance
taking off past Beloki in the mountains.
Catch you in the WAE CW this coming weekend from K4JA SOHP.
