    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

    Home Building a Homebrew Manual Tuner

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

    Who are you on the air?

    Hey, YardDog. Where are you in NW Arkansas? I am in Rogers. Locally, I am called CountryvPreacher, or Preacher, or Homer. Sometimes, on SSB, World Radio 183. As a ham, K5HBB.

    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

    I intend to use field day to work out my QRP portable setup. Virtually the only time there are enough stations across the bands willing to make quick contacts with portable QRP stations. Also, field day tends to run off the sit around and listen to themselves rattle guys (boring...).

    Well, I was teasing about it. I am used to QRP. 11m taught me that.

    Just QRP fun.

    I hear you. QRP works fine for me. As they say, there's 3 things that anyone can or must do, poop, pay taxes, and make QRO contacts. ;)
