A few of local area hams got together the other night and dusted off older QRP CW rigs and see what happens. In my case I used an all homebrew station.
My setup consisted of an all hb tuner and audio filter. The keyer and rig are kits. Still hb in my eyes.
CW was rusty, as expected but I did well enough that the Reverse Beacon Network picked up my 2 watts. My signal was heard state side in 1, 8 , and 9 areas. But the band was very busy and was barely heard at times locally. Need a little more power for the ground wave stuff.
Anyway it was fun and will give it another go but I'll likely use my KX3instead.
