[TenTec] QRP CONTESTING

[gunnerjuulnyholm at me.com]

Rick,

Agree, the SKY-SDR is really surprising. I use mine more than 90% of the time, 8w out. My ORION II is getting dusty.. 
Suggestion: Make the VFO knob to facilitate cw speed adjustment by pressing its switch (keyer adjustment and barring RF out while pressing)? The switch on the VFO encoder seems not to be used yet, Firmware update?

Last I looked, I have nearly 170 countries worked QRP, with more than 100 on both 20M and 15M, and I think 90 on 10M. I'm doing this with good antennas, not wet strings. :)  Because WPX is far less east-coast centric, I run legal limit and put in serious SO2R efforts on all three modes, using our club's call, KU6W.
