Big QRM tonight on 40m. I just saw a youtube ham describing the current jamming of 40m band by Cuban government. Looks just as he showed on the waterfall.

Re: Magic Box

Doc: Curious to know the selling price as I have an unassembled magic box somewhere in storage and I might post for sale, assuming I can locate it. Thanks - John w4usf.   ( W4USF at ICLOUD DOT COM )

I’m not the one with a magic box to sell. Scroll down to the originator of this thread to see who is selling one. It looks like K5OSA has one to sell.

You can read all about the "Magic Box" in the kit section of the 4SQRP website.   It is a kit that was retired many years ago, yet every once in a while, someone is interested in obtaining one.  It was designed by K8IQY and lets you connect a transmitter, receiver, and antenna to it.  It acts as a T/R switch, making little QRP transmitters much easier to operate.  As I said, you can read all about it in the "retired kits" area in the kit section of the website.

Don't forget the July Second Sunday Sprint is this coming Sunday evening, 7-9 pm CDT (Monday 0000-0200Z).  If you don't forget to enter the contest, I'll try not to forget to score it Tuesday.
