"Well 40m is essentially hopeless during the day anyway, unless you're packing a half kW and an antenna tower that needs a flashing red beacon on top." Backpeddle much?

I can generally make SSB contacts during the day, on 40m (checking into a net) of about 500 miles. That's nothing to sniff at for ~5W on a end fed random wire on a useless band :p

So contests are actually very helpful in this regard. Last weekend was amazing for testing out QRP.

I didn't say anything about a band being "dead"; that's up to the people who use it or don't. The only thing that's "dead" is the horse that gets dragged around when discussing it ;-) I'm simply refer

If everyone is listening and no one is calling CQ, then yup the band is dead! Funny how the bands seem to come alive during a contest, and shut down right after! Dave

Gee, and I work daytime nets at low power SSB on 40... Maybe the 67Ft wire 32ft up works. Just likely people telling me 10M is dead... 12 contacts Saturday not contesting just SSB QSOs all over the pl

1 hour – 0.5 watt. Non-resonant dipole in the attic. Yes… 40 is definitely worthless during the day. Mike WM4B

Well 40m is essentially hopeless during the day anyway, unless you're packing a half kW and an antenna tower that needs a flashing red beacon on top. I have two QCXs - a 40 for night, and 20 for dayti

I believe I figured the key issue,. It was a simple fix, short in the cord. The static noise issue, just the atmosphere I'd assume. It sounded normal early this morning but it got worse as the day mov

#1 - Could we have your name and call? #2 - first step - Check connections using ohmmeter. Use schematic to verify wiring is correct. #3 - Source of noise - disconnect antenna. Noise gone? Atmospheric

Did you change the Keyer type in the menu?

I have a quick question about my 40m qcx. I'm really new to this qrp thing so this is all a first time experience. I did the build which I think went well, but I'm having some issue with the key. The

#key #40m #qcx #qcx40

Hello all, I am totally new to the QRP QCX and am interested in building my own key. I have a question about the circuit; I've done some research and believe I know the answer but I'd like to confirm

I have noticed strange behavior while in Menu 9 - Test Equipment. When menu 9.5 or 9.6 is chosen and transmit key is activated, CLK1 stops, CLK2 start end remain like this regardless of the transmit k
