Made just one SSB contact on 20m.

Good enough, heading back home.

Mostly it was just a hike up the Red Hill.

Used to be able to build a QRP transmitter using parts from your local Radio Shack store including the colour burst crystal. I gotta wonder how many colour TV sets would suddenly have funky colours due
to their next door ham radio op back in the day...

Set out this morning to test out #FT8 on my #truSDX using my little portable #20m loaded whip antenna. A local coffee shop has a nice patio, and really nice coffee: a great spot to operate #QRP from!

Sadly the USB cable I brought with me didn't work... but, the RBN did pick me up on CW using battery power and just over 3W!

I know about #POTA, #SOTA, #IOTA, #COTA, and even #WMPLOTA ... but what about starting Coffee Shops On The Air (#CSOTA)? Just a thought...

Also, my new radio transceiver from #QRP_Labs arrived! I ordered this back in the spring and--knowing that I still haven't assembled the QDX digital modes radio I bought back in 2021--checked the box to have it assembled and tested, so it took a little while. I haven't had an HF transceiver since I sold my Yaesu FT-817, so this is exciting to me.

This is the QMX+ 5-band #QRP radio. Comes with a nice calibration sheet showing the testing done.
