Curious what people are doing primarily.
Are you focused on DX? Program listening? Obtaining QSLs? Listening
to pirates? Utilities? Ham radio?

Listening to The Great Liberty Nit-Wit-Net.
With my Yacht Boy 400PE and my Tiny-Tenna.

Working the world with 30 watts on digital HF


What digital modes? PSK31, JT65-HF or JT9? Or dare I ask, plain old
green keys RTTY?


RTTY birds drive me nuts. psk31 is extremely compatible with neighbors.
It's the only HF mode I've tried. I use fldigi and can use dozens of
protocols, but you never know if anybody is listening inless you are in
the overwhelming most popular mode.

I am starting to warm up to 630m. The loading coils are the size of
water heaters. And the coils are what radiates unless you have a really
long wire.
