[RSM] RSM Digest, Vol 10, Issue 7

[Dan Keizer]

i have a 20m WSPR beacon .. it is a TAPR board for the RPi.  It runs 100mw
into my ground mounted vertical in the back yard.
I have not had it on for over a month as I moved cabling around --- but i
will look at hooking it back up today.

anyone else in the city besides Ed and myself tried FT8?  interested in
hearing your station calls ..

73, Dan ve4drk
