I finally got the chance to work 6 meters during the day, my first 3 #FT8 QSOs was in the evening when the band was fading, now that I'm not at work, this morning around 11 is when I was finally being picked up on #RBN and I called #CQ and WB0JXR in SD answered me and I had my first #CW#QSO. I run HRD in Linux btw :)

The Chameleon EFHW got delayed until Tuesday so I didn't record this trip, I went out early and put up a PackTenna random wire and tuned 30 meters to call @N4JAW but he had just gone QRT, but I worked 13 others. I was surprised how great 30 meters was early in the morning. Lots of fog as well. #qrp#cw#cwmorse#hamradio#wwff#pota
The new Chameleon EFHW was supposed to be here today, but hasn't arrived yet. So I went out with the CHA F-Loop 3.0, Yeasu FT-818 and made 13 QSOs with one being from Colombia! #CW#QRP#hamradio#wwff
