Lashed together a temp az-el setup this AM.. all manual,,,calibrted azimuth by Sun,,,,,Heard them on SSB about 3-3/4-4... K1FO 25el and "deaf" IC-910, no pre-amp,. They must have big signal...After they went to CW called seveal times with 75W. just in case I got lucky. They were 559/569 on cw (ssb b/w) about 80% of the time...Windy here blowing antenna around a little. need more antenna, and pre amp,,,better rx, and QRG
Loads of fun

Hearing test carriers MUCH better today! Give it a listen, they are saying 350W output today (rather than 30W yesterday ;)
