Just thought I would post this video I took talking on 20 meters using 3 watts of power. I managed to talk to Belgium.

That's awesome. What did you end up with doing with your antenna? I've been off the site for a while, not sure if you posted it or not.

USMC, I say this with the utmost respect.....WTF!!!!!

I'm using my par end fed 10/20/40 trail antenna out my window to a tree. Going to put up a longer better speaker wire antenna tomorrow probably until I can get something better.

What master swimmer lol? Not sure how to respond.

I don't know what to say, except that's a lot of fiddling with the knob! lol

What the hell was that? Hell if I remember.... lol

Thank you lol. My radio does good at blocking static noise too so you can hear people better.

Oh and it was something in the last post thread that could have been taken the wrong way that you edited lol.

[Pissed Off Patriot]

Oh yes, THAT. lmao....

[usmcveteran]

I'm trying to figure out the purpose of the shout out. You fiddled with your knob, made a connection, spent 2:30 minutes trying to get the guy on the other end to recognize your call sign, and when he did you ended the connection. Purpose?

Didn't work for me either on the Macbook with Safari. Try Firefox. I got unsupported plug-in error. I think this one you can attribute to Apple lol.
