This wasn't an actual contact, but PSK reporter shows I was picked up just off the Northern coast of Antarctica earlier today.

Antarctica not difficult, even the hard way. It's all up to Mother Nature.

You were also heard by FR4BI in Reunion Island at -11db. That's pretty loud for a trip of 9,200 miles from your station.

Yup, I remember seeing that on PSK reporter as well. I've been using FT8 on 10M to draw in new hams here at the shop with some success. Customers are amazed at just how far away you can make a contact, and it really sparks interest. The more new HAM's we can garner the better!

    Does anyone know if you can replace the 2290 in a galaxy dx 93t twin turbine with a 2sc2879 red dot? If so, what would have to be tuned?
  • @ ShadowDelaware:
    Hambones the entire amp section would have to be retuned, and the rf transformers re wrapped.
