    Sometimes I feel like I'm getting 5 watts out with a hundred in!


    I'm not familiar with WSPR, so I'm going to have to figure that one out. Digital is a bucket list item for me, and since I almost kicked the bucket around Christmas, I better get on it right now!

    Cool Michael, have you been able to duplicate it yet?

    Yup... the following night it was two way... I was heard in Antarctica and was hearing Antarctica.

    Nothing from down there since. But was thrilled to make the trip.

    So there I was, totally naked. With only a rubber hose and a stuffed animal...

    OK I missed time of day when you did it. I'm good on 40, voice and morse only. My morse sucks but if you're patient it works Antarctica Here I come!
