[Elecraft] Early Morning QRPing Fun on 80 Meters

[Pete Meier]

Hi all,

While Ed AB8DF has been on vacation I stepped in until his return and it’s been great fun. I expect Ed AB8DF will be on frequency again starting on Monday morning. Please work Ed  and maybe look for me up a Khz or so above him. 

Today was another fun day and conditions were a bit noisy. I had nice QSOs with 3 stations from my qth in Manitou Springs, CO this morning
I again used a newly acquired mcHF SDR QRP Transceiver. I ran 5 watts into an end fed half wave up about 30 feet.
Check out the mcHF at http://www.m0nka.co.uk <http://www.m0nka.co.uk/>  or the EFHW antenna at http://myantennas.com/wp/product/efhw-8010p/ <http://myantennas.com/wp/product/efhw-8010p/>
(BTW… no affiliation with the above products but enjoy them)

I worked:
K5BGB	ROD IN BRYAN, TX
N4ELM	DAVE IN LAFAYETTE, LA
W5YB	ALEX IN ABIQUIU, NM

I appreciate the skills and patience of all the station operators who contact me. It makes getting up so early here worthwhile. 

Ed will be hanging out on 3.560 most weekday mornings from 1200z to 1300z and I will be about a kHz above him.
while we have morning coffee.
"Just might be the way to survive the sun spot lull." … as Ed says!
