[TenTec] QRPp experiment on the Omni VI

[K8mp at aol.com]

Here's my story...
 
Several years ago I was in a CW QSO and decided to  switch to a straight 
key in mid-stream. I turned the drive all the way down on  my OMNI-6 Plus so I 
could adjust the key spacing while listening to  the side-tone.
 
I tapped the key a few times and the guy I was in  QSO with thought someone 
was trying to break-in. Turns out I was S-5 on his  receiver and another 
station who was reading the mail gave me an  S-4.
 
I had 3 watt-meters in line (the Omni 6's, the one in  my tuner, and one in 
the line to the antenna)
None of them registered any movement, so my  output had to be in the in the 
100 milli-watt range.
 
I still get a kick out of telling that  story.
 
Later,  Joe

Hi  y'all...

Let's have some fun with the discussion about the output of  the Omni VI 
set at minimum output.  Try operating with the power control  turned fully 
down (ccw) and see what contacts are made.  Post your  results here!

Other rigs are welcome to join in, as well  :-)   Just post the rig you are 
using along with your  "results."

Jim,  AF3Z
