[OKDXA] 3W1T & others on 17 meters

[Richard Ruhl]

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate the info. You're running more power than I thought
it would take on FT8. I'll try with a TH7DXX and the SS amp; I will try at
lower power to start out. Local weather has put a damper on activity over
the past week here. Looking forward to the Cycle 25 action. Thanks again.
73's.

Hello Richard,
  Antenna is a Force 12 4BA - 4 bands on a 26 ft boom. Works about like a 3
el yagi. I usually run about 500 watts. 17 meters was good this morning, was
hearing Asia, India area, Europe, and VP8 Falklands all at the same time...
Then I started listening on 6 meters. Was hearing a few Europeans on 6 and
lots of stateside...

73,
