[TVARC] ARRLDX SSB W3US SOAB HP

[w3us at casa-aloha.net]

Not planning on anything serious, I fired up the rig Friday night to give the guys and gals at PJ2T a contact, and you know, one thing led to another…
The 6-BTV doesn’t tune 40M SSB so I was limited to 100w and surprised with the number of 40M QSOs.  It just means those guys in Europe all have good antennas.. Not paying attention to the power slider, my first few QSOs were at 40 watts!  Hung it up after an hour and didn’t have time Saturday to get on the air.  Like Pete says - SSB is not my cup of tea, or words to that effect

73 to all,
Rusty - W3US
