QRP Radio for SBB
Radio Shack Realistic HTX-100. I tried CW listening but was not able to hear any stations. CW filtering on this radio is not great. However it is fun to operate a vintage Radio Shack QRP.
When field day kick off at 18:00 UTC June 22nd I started at 20WPM. After off and on chasing this field day, sending at 20wpm felt like 12WPM to me so I increased my speed to 23wpm. I would recommend to increase the speed once you are comfortable.
36 CW QSOs 36
3 SSB 10M

Nice to see all the QRP rigs getting a turn during your Field Day ops! Looks like the HTX-100 was getting the job done on 10M. Too bad there were no CW stations on 10. 73, Patrick KF4LMZ

Glad to know I'm not the only one who shorts my s's h's and 5's at times... ;-). Interesting. We didn't think of trying 10 Meters SSB. There was NOTHING on 10 Meters CW in Utah...

My kind of video! Subscribed. I attended FD for the first time and got some contacts with a KX2 and QMX. Ton of fun! What key is that?

Is that a real M0NKA mcHF ? or one of the AliExpress Chinesium knock-offs (I heard that some are not that bad). And which paddle are you using?
