I've been off the air for two years, so it's nice to be back, and fully portable, but I remember most guys were 100W with QRP guys among the mix; now, it seems most guys are running amps and the average TX power is 4-500W. <br /><br />Hopefully things improve, but I need to figure out a good and quick & easy portable antenna... without breaking the bank.

I haven't seen propagation this bad for a long, long, time. Hopefully it will improve.......it can't get much worse :-)Blogmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610958641060401956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624489111207838168.post-26682191769488569272016-12-19T21:35:07.946-05:002016-12-19T21:35:07.946-05:00Well, at least I don't feel bad now...

I recently went full QRP - probably the worst timing ever - and I'm not exactly filling the logbook lately.Shoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286565280499094523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624489111207838168.post-88037208581109831722016-12-19T09:23:15.963-05:002016-12-19T09:23:15.963-05:00Mike, in a word "crap".

There was no east-west propagation at all, what we had was a very small north-south opening, but of the most part, here in Eastern Ontario, we heard very little on 10m. Quite disappointing really.Blogmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610958641060401956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624489111207838168.post-3329661462881707272016-12-19T01:10:16.331-05:002016-12-19T01:10:16.331-05:00How was the band?How was the band?Shoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286565280499094523noreply@blogger.com
