Qcx is great, it gives me renewed enjoyment in the hobby, and if you can get near the sea, it's as good as a 100w radio, and you are special, because you use cw.
@@brianfields4479 The code is great. I am also building a receiver from scratch based on Drew Diamond, VK3XU's designs but using MC1496s instead of NE602s
Weil done, great result on low power Brian .i bought an amp last year which I now use when conditions are tough but always try to work the other station on low power first. I considered an amp for my mobile but find 100w works very well for most of the time.
Will need to get up early Brian some morning and have a listen for you, I see you are working EU on 40M, what is your antenna for that band? de Ei2iP...
Hi robbie, I've just got a 1/4 wave vertical and 200w. If you hear me calling cq, flick me a email and I will listen for you. Iam on 40m or 20m most days long path near the greyline. 73 brian.
And we have operators out there that think they need 100 watts, then some feel they need an 1500 watt amp. We know diffrent. Good Show OM.
Our hobby has to be better than more than just power surely.
I have a 20m QCX on order in transit. Looking forward to assembling the kit and hopefully getting QRV!

Anyone know how to set baofeng ham radio plz
QRP 5 watts or less and CW rules. No need for low power when QRP does a fine job.
