Hello Pete .....I worked a fellow on my SMT with 360 mw who was using 16 mw
from his car using a hamstick. He was from the Annapolis MD area and I am
from nr Pittsburgh. The thing that got me was that he was using a 40 meter
Hamstick. Therefore the antenna efficiency at this freq. would be, to say
the least, ..marginal. I don't remember the call or report as it is in my
logs in storage somewhere. I will be retrieving them when the new radio
room goes into operation hopefully in a few months. Give me an e-mail Pete
if you want to try a sked one night ...nothing ventured nothing gained ....

I've built a little 80 meter transmitter that seems to be putting out
about
7 milliwatts. By my caculation, that should be good for about 40 miles.
Anyone have any experience with low a power output?

Pete
