    I'll let him know.

    And it's a relief to know it survived the shipping. You never know these days, no matter how well you try to pack things...

    Tell him this, too: My first QSO worked out to 1133.9 miles/watt, and on 10m no less. I think I could learn to like this QRP thing...

    Yeah, no kidding, but I've had much better luck with the USPS in that respect than either UPS or FedEx. I now ship with the postal service almost exclusively.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    And now add CE3CT, also SSB phone on 10m. Only 1094 miles/watt, though.

    I'm having a blast with this thing. I don't make a lot of DX QSOs but each one I do make feels like a real accomplishment.

    Cool. You have it hooked up to a nice speaker? How's that RX audio sound? :)

    I worked Croatia a bit ago on 12.

    I unplugged the speaker from my currently non-functional TR-7 and am using it with the Argonaut. The audio is quite good and I found the #2 CW filter to helpful on SSB during contest conditions.

    Croatia is a good one. Alas, the Ten Tec rig does not do the WARC bands.

    Okay, now add ZM1A, Waihi Beach, New Zealand. 1304 miles/watt.
