I enjoy Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio, Field Days, QRP, satellites, and CW. I have many friends in the hobby that make it fun. I will keep you posted on what I learn about amateur radio on this blog.
The rig was the Sierra with 2 watts on 40 and 1 watt on 80 and a 135 foot doublet antenna. This time I got my weight down by 0.64 lbs by using AAAs and ear buds. On 40 I worked MD, NY, VA, OH and MA. MA was the furthest for 1160 mi or 580 mi per watt. On 80 I worked 2 X GA and the furthest was 261 miles for 261 mi per watt. Lots of QRP fun!
