As you can see above, I was clearly getting out very well with some great signal reports from a good spread of stations even though I was only using 5w of CW. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can of course use the RBN website to view the spots if you prefer, it’s not quite as realtime as the DXCluster but, it provides the same information eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The view on the RBN Website is almost the same as that from the DXCluster however, it also shows your CW speed in WPM. I was also surprised to get a spot from the USA at 8dB, that’s a good signal (Just over S2) considering I was only using 5w of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I came to the conclusion that no one needed an exotic M0 call for their log and so I went on to my normal search and pounce <\/em>approach and worked a bunch of stations spread around Europe and Asiatic Russia. My little 5w signal did well and I was able to get through the pileups by using my slide off to the side<\/em> technique so that my little signal stood out on it’s own. This technique works well when trying to get a QRP signal into a pileup and is used often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Needless to say, my Begali Traveler Light twin paddle morse key once setup how I like it was superb to use, light to the touch, quick and responsive. Begali make such beautiful morse keys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n More soon …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Operating a QRP station can often make you feel like you’re not getting out when no one responds to your multiple CQ calls.
