20m?

Homer, yes 20 metres.
RM, no not 50 watts, was running about 25 watt. Prolongs the batteries in the cold.

Cool. I've had success with 5w on several bands, but 20m mostly.

Ah! I understand. Still, it sounds like that small increase in power makes a pretty good difference. Think I’ll put on a tin foil cap and try 25 on my loop.

Have made contacts on 40 and 17, but 20 has by far been the best for me on the loop. Nothing on the other bands yet.
