Comments:
FT-817 (5 watts) and Cushcraft R7000 (base @ 11 ft above ground level)
(No 80m antenna here)
Thought I would fire up the little radio for this one and have some fun!
It really is amazing how much the 817 does for such a small package.
I have even been inspired to chase QRP DXCC. Thanks 8P9JG for the new one.
First hour was 25 QSOs, which was promising with QRP.
Then I listened to 40m and it had S8-S9 noise, yucko!
The M class flare in the second hour did not help much either:
