Fun Fun Fun, the bands have been hit hard by slar activity the last 2 days here. 40m is like 20m where you only hear half the conversation which is strange! So, going to be more challenging as a QRP operator but I might be able to squeeze in there somewhere. I caught a POTA station yesterday and it was like surfing, the fade was fast so we had just enough time for Call/RST/State and then he was in the mud again.

Two secondhand QCX-Minis arrived in the mail today, 20-meter and 40-meter models. 😁 It's rad that you can use them as Morse trainers in addition to their main functions. I'm including 3/4-amp fuses in their power supply cable, which should be high enough according to the manual... I bought some 1-amp fuses just in case though.
