Listening on 7.122 with a QCX Mini
Always happens. Got a phone call and I have had something come up. I'll probably get on later this evening when conditions are better anyway. Sorry about that. 73, Jim, W0EB

Listening on 7.122 with a QCX Mini
Any 4 Stater with some free time? I'm looking for a QRP contact using my 40 meter QCX Mini (puts out 7 watts at the moment.) Right now I'm parked on 7.122 exactly and listening for anyone - calling CQ

WTB: Elecraft T1 QRP Autotuner
Looking to buy a used, working Elecraft T1 QRP portable antenna tuner (USA only). Cosmetic condition is not a concern as long as it’s working. Or, if anyone has an unbuilt kit with all parts complete

Hi Woody, I have mine set to 750 Fahrenheit on a mostly pointed tip with very slight rounding on the end. Seems to handle just about everything but the really heavy jobs like PL259 shields and the lik

NOUVEAU 75 0N 3.815
Just worked Bert on 3.815 AM. I forgot to give him a Signal report - if you read this Bert, it was 5-5 to 5-6 in Park City, KS -- DE W0EB. Unfortunately I wasn't QRP at the time - used my K3S barefoot

Recommendation for a Butane Soldering Iron?
I have fond memories of those old heavy copper soldering irons. The first radio I ever repaired (I was around 11 years old) was done with one of those irons heated on the kitchen stove! The radio was
