@MM0OPX A step drill is so useful on this job.

@goodgame_K5ATA I understand now…at first glance I thought it was a overhead clearance issue. #tallguydangers.

@QRPerDotCom 👍You can do it !!

[David Wood W6OOD @DavidWoodsey]

@N6ARAElectronic I see the DX commander in the back there. Have a good FD. Just got one of your QRP SWR meters yesterday, and put it together immediately. It works great !! Great design!!

@Hoshnasi What’s the hotdog recipe? …10 minutes at 450 watts or something like that?

[David Wood W6OOD @DavidWoodsey]

@QRPerDotCom @qrplabs I wish I could. The visitors to QRP labs website looking for the QMX (which isn’t available yet) went from 30 visits when I tried Thursday eve to 5000 in less than a day. Hot item for sure.

@thek5yvy @AD6DM @K5QBF It does have a utilitarian vibe, like necessity came before form.

@Hoshnasi @IcomAmericaInc That’s what I use. Every time a Tesla passes me, I hear RF. Hopefully the Lightning’s RF profile is manageable. My own LED brake lights also make noisy hash. I’ve got to try more chokes (in addition to the ones already on the coax), maybe on the brake light power lines too.

@Hoshnasi (and BTW, I never heard them on air either 😥 but heard them on SDR remote and enjoyed the amazing pile-⬆️🆙s)

@Hoshnasi I said it when they were preparing for this challenge and it’s still true today…these hams who went to Bouvet are ham radio Superheroes. What they did was no failure but a limited success. They should be proud and we should applaud them for what they’ve accomplished.

@Chesschick01 Flesh wounded, I see.

@ea3hre You should see how people drive now..lots of screens in the cab. I’m sure they are all “not for looking at while driving” HaHa.

[David Wood W6OOD @DavidWoodsey]

@Hoshnasi Can you operate HF direct from the Lightning’s touchscreen ???

[David Wood W6OOD @DavidWoodsey]

@akimmerly Loving that coil setup and the cool tr(Usdx) colors. “Ham shack in a shirt pocket” style.

[David Wood W6OOD @DavidWoodsey]

@Hoshnasi I was live feeding a memorial service near there years ago with a A/V cable that had a bad ground. You could hear the station clearly coming through on the mixer. That’s power.

[David Wood W6OOD @DavidWoodsey]

@Hoshnasi Don’t you just love that giant CapHat?
