Title: First 160m QSO on Valiant
Post by: ka4koe on December 05, 2013, 02:48:28 PM
Running 125W carrier, chatting with Don KYV on 1885 last night, 0345Z. Local noise bad, but did manage to be heard on the 40' vertical. Don told me I was "not that strong". I don't know if this translates to PW by some standards.

At that point, plate current pegged the meter and the qso stopped for fear of spontaneous combustion.
