    Farthest 11 meter DX contact and equipment used?

    Yesterday I QSO'd with Gus, 35NB001. Each of us were operating mobile. Mine is the AT-6666, coax, and mobile antenna (don't know what brand). Rogers, AR to the Netherlands, 4643 miles. Not my farthest, but definitely a fun mobile DX contact. 27.395 LSB

    No. I hope to get back to it when the winter comes. Too many maintenance projects outdoors this summer. All work no play.

    USDX+ HF TRANSCEIVER

    I've made numerous QRP (<5W) with the uBitx. I prefer my v5 to my v6.2 as it has gained more contacts. The v6 is easier for band changes. The v5 has a cleaner sounding recieve, or mine does.

    Field Day This Weekend ...... and no threads here .... lol
