[DSP-10] Ultra-QRP DSP-10 Contact

[BEBLARK at aol.com]

Hello group.

Jimmy, K7NQ recently finished his DSP-10 and wants to let everyone know it 
works fine barefoot at 20mW! He's been trying to submit the following to the 
DSP-10 list and is having difficulty, so I volunteered to forward his message, 
which follows:

Hi all,
Just a quick post to let you know we have our DSP-10 up and operational.  Our 
1st contacts were with Ernie W7LHL and Mike KD7TS using SSB and PUA-43 modes. 
 Our 1st  DX  QSO was with Bob W7PUA in CN84 to my grid, CN87.  A distance of 
191 miles.  Bob and I were using bare DSP-10's, he 30 mW and myself, 21 mW.  
The antenna used by Bob was 4 K1FO's, I am using 2 ea. cushcraft 18 el., 4.2 
wavelength yagis @ 85'.  My ERP was approx. 1 watt.  We also worked Larry W7SZ 
a distance of 100 miles  with 21 mW.  Larry's antenna was just 5 elements, 
part of a broken 2 meter EME yagi. HI HI.  Who needs big antenna's to make Pua-43 
contacts!
I want to thank the whole gang in th Northwest for all there help, it's been 
a rewarding and fun project. We are  looking forward to doing more with the 
DSP-10 in the near future.  

There is more information about the contact, along with screen captures
