  1. Whoo boy, the new QST rips the #QMX+ on its six meter performance and says it “should not be used to transmit anywhere on that band” because of its spurious emissions. That’s not even all they complained about.

    That will put a wet blanket on your magic July propagation. I may have to fire up groups.io to see the response.

  6. Just once this summer I’d like to remember everything necessary to do 6m FT8 on my lunch break. This time twas grabbing the QDX instead of the QMX+, which is the one that does 6 meters 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Did catch a good net, the weekly 2 meter Triangle Mutual Aid net, controlled by @mbroome and co-staring @llorenzin and @beckett ❤️🖤

  16. I’ll be camping in West Virginia in EM97 this week. Going to try to work the #MagicBand with this “thrift store” ham stick dipole and a QMX+.

    Is #WestVirginia rare in others’ logs? I hadn’t been able to get it in my last 1.5 years as a Technician.

  25. Had a very interesting day today running #FT8 on the #6m and #10m bands! #6meters was pretty quiet, but #10meters had some really interesting surprises in store for me! I actually somehow managed to get an exchange with an #Antarctica research station today (DP0GVN)! I honestly thought Antarctica was one of those that I wouldn't ever manage at 100W and a horizontal omni antenna. Gotta mention South Africa too, 'cause that's just a sort of weird hop for #10meter to reach.

  29. Finally getting around to posting my exchanges map on #6m and #10m #FT8 from the last two weekends. Definitely got some interesting exchanges, but the bands weren't really the best.

  31. 6m FT8 waterfall has looked like 40m all day today in the Central US. East Coast booming, SE and S doing well. Missing the west of the Rockies contingent! #HamRadio #MagicBand #6meters

  33. This weekend was interesting on the #6m band. #6meters was very strange this morning, a pretty much fiber-optic quality path right into Florida Every contact I had was a 59+. Also had a really good time last night on #20m getting a bunch of #POTA contacts.

  37. @DcnPat I've got some 4-gague solid copper wire on order, and I'm going to try to fabricate something like the Squalo you mentioned with it. #Antennas #6meters #HamRadio

  49. I have a question for the ham radio folks here. Does anyone have any comments or opinions about the Alinco DR-06TA? It's a 50 watt monoband 6 meter FM transceiver. I have no experience with this radio at all but I'm kind of interested in it.

    Thanks
