I got my new Argonaut V on Monday. It is a great little rig! I did not do
any transmitting until a little while ago. I heard OK1CF, Czech Republic,
calling QRZ on 15 meters. I was pleasantly surprized to hear him come back
to me. I got a great signal report (5-9) from him. The antenna I was using
was "just" a Cushcraft MA5V vertical and I was running the Argonaut at a
whopping 20 Watts! This is my first experience running QRP.
My other impressions of the Argonaut V are equally great. This rig is
definitely a "keeper"!!! 73, Bill
