Six toroids done, 13 to go! I'm building a QMX+ transceiver from QRP Labs. Going well so far, and the soldering got better when I changed to a larger tip on the iron. This PCB seems to conduct heat away from the joint very quickly.

Thanks to Walt, K6OGO over at Costal Waves and Wires for the kind words about my Turret Mic which he used when reviewing the QMX+

QRP Labs QMX+ Ham Radio SSB Beach Portable

Successful lunch break PLOTA activation (Parking Lots on the Air) on 10 meter FT8! Tho I did have to take an extra half hour to reach ten QSOs 😉.

First outing with the QMX+ and a cable I made with an in-line buck converter to use a regular 13.8V battery.

Session included one QSO in Ontario, a new grid in Argentina, and two new states (CT, ME). From Raleigh with 4 watts and a whip!

Fun to let #WSPR do the work of getting these 5W out when #10meters is bad. 3 reports 15,000+ kilometers away from QTH in Raleigh, NC!
