Just made my first contact with my little tentec 1320 qrp rig!!!! I
realigned it the other day knowing that I must be transmitting off of what my
receive was since I was not making any contacts,,, and sure enough now it's
fixed ! Heard ww7x in tucson arizona at about 6:30 pm pst and gave him a call.
He came right back with a rst of 549 :)) VFO drift was creating a bit of a
problem and each time I adjusted I worried that I'd lose him. The vfo coil is
sealed in wax but I guess things had to warm up so to speak. My output was
right at about 2 watts as read on the ohr meter and his output was 90. He had
no trouble copying. Sorry all, just had to share my joy a bit :) Pretty happy
with my 2 watts at a few hundred miles :)) (I'm outside Visalia Ca, south of
Fresno)
