[Dwight Anderson]

Thanks Wayne!!! 

 I am having a blast just with the KX3,  PX3, and KXPA100, what great designs!!!
The 20 M band is going great!!!
I'm just spending a few minutes here and there today and got through on the first try to UK, Finland, Slovak, and Czech.

Back to the radio.... 

Much Regards,

Hi all,

I should have sent this yesterday, but it’s not too late to get in on the action: It’s the CQ WPX CW weekend. This is one of the best contests of the year in which to work some new countries, test your antennas, try a new rig, etc. 20 meters, in particular, is really hopping.

The exchange is simple; just <RST> <sequenceNumber> (starting with ‘1’). Full rules here:

This is a great contest for QRP, because all of the big-gun contest stations worldwide are using their high-gain antenna arrays (which help with signal strength on both ends). 

I was out hiking using the KX2 and the AX1 20/17 meter whip prototype (4’ long) today. Made about 10 contacts in 10 minutes with 10 watts (parallelism not intended :)  Best DX was Uruguay. 

73,
