Re: QCX antenna
Allison, the PAR website says "NO COUNTERPOISE REQUIRED" (their caps)
Just Bravado, no doubt. I'll be careful, and maybe after 60 years of ham radio,
i'll just keep it in practice mode.

Hi Gregg,
Thanks for the confirmation. “[B]lack hole” is a goo description. This is the first time in years I’ve ordered from overseas.

Re: Shipping times from Turkey to United States
Hi Kent,
'package was forwarded to the destination country' usually means it is sitting in customs. That means it has entered a ‘black hole’ and you won’t get any tracking update until it

Shipping times from Turkey to United States
I’m just curious about how long it is usually taking for a QCX kit to be delivered to the U.S. The last update from 17Track was 8 May stating the package was forwarded to the destination country.

Re: QCX 20M with very low power
A note: L4 is not a choke for supplying DC its part of the C30/L4 pair that needs
to be tuned to in this case about 14.03mhz.
Seems to be an aversion to making sure that's correct

Re: QCX antenna
Even with the end fed half wave wire you still need a ground as you have no coax to
provide the counterpoise. A length of wire [maybe 20ft] laying stretched out on the
ground should do. That would

The purpose of this mod is to give QCX access to a receive-only antenna via the 50 Watt PA kit. This can be added to a functioning PA or the kit can be built as a T/R switch without the amplifier

Multi-band versions of high-efficiency QRP radio
A manual setting a new quality benchmark

Re: QCX antenna
As we are in lockdown with plenty of time to read books, have a look at Reflections 3 by W2DU (now sadly a silent key ). You can down load the pdf at www.w3pga.org .It's a 160MB download

Re: QCX-SSB: SSB with your QCX transceiver
Made several SSB contacts including one to KD1KT 2565 miles (4127 km) on 20m. SWR meter indicated I was putting out about 2 watts. KD1KT appears to have a nice antenna setup.
