New hobby

50 watts radio == 5.5 kg
10 watts radio == 1.3 kg.

I’m not a big fan of QRP, it’s just so much practical in many cases

β€œCompared with FT4, "FT2" is significantly less sensitive, needs twice the bandwidth, and has far more decoding failures caused by timing errors. The mode is hardly usable without full (or nearly full) automation. We have no plan to add a twice-speeded-up version of FT4 in the mainline program WSJT-X. -- 73, Joe, K1JT”
