That is what I have done, built a cheap antenna. I have a Chinese radio and I have made contacts on SO-50, half duplex.

Can't possibly be true because full duplex is a TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. If you don't meet the requirements, you can't possibly be successful.

You are not alone: my own non-full duplex contacts were also not successful because of my failure to use a second receiver. I've petitioned ARRL to remove my QSLs from LOTW and have disassembled and buried my diplexer-equipped antenna because of this.

The shame of it all.
