How to objectively qualify SSB transmission quality?
(Before creating this posting, I carefully checked the guidelines and thing this falls under "QRP techniques". If not, I hope the moderators will mercifully point me to the error of my ways..)

I have the 6M version. Not HF, still a nice little radio, made quite a few contacts with it.

Re: 40 AND 80 Meter Net Report
I heard the digi on 40 and tuned up but didn't hear a peep. Nothing on 80 either. Will try again next week!

Re: Small QRP SSB?
I can highly recommend the G90. While my main mode is CW, I occasionally go on SSB and always get positive remarks on the audio quality and get through pileups surprisingly easily with 20W.

Re: 40 AND 80 Meter Net Report
I was getting ready to shut down the rig after making briefly announcing my presence, along with WA9PWP and N4MJ, on 7,122.04 kHz. I accidently touched the tuning knob and found Johnny on 7,122.65,

Re: Small QRP SSB?
I have the MFJ SSB 20m rig (MFJ-9420). It is a nice little single band rig with very crisp and clean audio. No artifacts or digital noise because it is all analog. I can recommend the design.

CRKits.com has a small SSB kit. I have the 40m version, waiting to be built. It's an updated version of one of his older kits.

Re: Small QRP SSB?
The only single band one for 40 meters that I know of that is available new right now is the MFJ-9440. Each model is a bit over $300 (prices vary by band for some reason), which feels like a lot to me
