That's what I love about this hobby. You get bored with one mode and you can move on to the next one. #QSO with Dr. Andre in Belize. Haven't done #FT8 #WSJTx #Digital in a long while #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

I am interested in what empirical evidence can be had to determine how much power is "as much as you need to make the contact."

This FT8 sequence seems to be one of those data points. I tried for a while to get this Chilean station and then someone from my grid square swoops in to get the QSO!

Recently went from a 25W rig to a 5W rig. Fewer QSOs and more incomplete exchanges, though I know the bands have been rough.

#QSO #FT8 #10meters #FM05

A screenshot that shows 8 rows of FT8 signals. CA2HFW calls CQ 3 times from grid square FG40 in Chile 3 and I answer 3 times from grid square FM05. The 7th and eight rows show CA2HFW making a contact with KQ4ZAC.

I love this little #QRPp CW #MorseCode #Pixie rig. Haven't made a #QSO yet due to operating during contests or inferior #HF band conditions but it was fun to build and is fun to operate. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

Today's #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #parksontheair #POTA CW #MorseCode activation was like a Verizon commercial. "Can you hear? Can your hear me now? Thanks to Super Hearing from Steve #K3SLH for the Park-to-Park #QSO

I made a #QSO yesterday with OE5PJO who was activating #SOTA summit HA/ND-001 (Írott-kő). He gave me a very low report. I don’t know wether it was because of my setup or because I was talking to him while riding the bike. Anyway, glad I had some air time! #hamradio #amateurradio #amateurfunk

Is there an established convention for acknowledging a #QSL card sent by an #SWL??
I have received a QSL card from a very kind SWL who has correctly reported a #QSO between me and another station. They have requested acknowledgement of their reception report, but I don't know how to. Should I send them a QSL card with the details for my 2-way QSO but write on it that it was accurately received by the SWL??

#hfbandconditions are living up to the #spaceweather #spacewx hype. Nice spring hike in the woods though with an added bonus of a cw #morsecode #qrpr #hb1b #pota #parksontheair activation #QSO with Howie #ac4fs #amateurradio #hamradio

More than 75 #QSO today when activating DE-0192 for POTA.
Sunny weather, but windy and therefore chilly.
Thanks hunters!
