After the first tests conducted with 2 meters long wire (!!!), I finally connected the receiver to my 40 meter dipole to finally appreciate the qualities of this kit.
I let you judge.
A short piece of F6BSQ QSO takes place on 7030 kHz.
Well tonight, first DX contact in PSK31 and in this case with VY2FYY Venezuela.
I've done it QSO wait before I go to bed because the reward is finally here.
Before that I had checked the propagation conditions on 40m for early night and I observed conditions that might arise in the direction of America.
After some very interesting QSO on the north and east of Europe, I intercepted a QSO between an Italian and a Canadian. From that moment, I realized that it was "open."
Yesterday afternoon, I achieved my first QSO Morse. The funny thing is that this is somehow due to chance because I did not want to do CW QSO until I totally know the alphabet. That's how it happened ...
It turns out that after one year of using my PC, I am frequently confronted with problems of stability that I can not truly know the origin. This demonstrates how random but systematically, it is a complete blockage of PC is observed. No blue screen, no mouse and keyboard no longer effective and hard drives are stopped.
Having spent some time researching the problem, to no avail, I decided to change my current setup. My turn comes from a mix of several PC and sometimes some parts are incompatible or worn.
