A bit of a hectic schedule here in Melbourne but I have managed to find time to make up the QRP-LABS QDX 80/40/30/20m Digital Transceiver Kit I brought with me. Having found a big reel of surplus LAN cable in my Son’s garage, I stripped a length off it to make up a dipole antenna laying about 2 feet off the ground and fed straight into the BNC socket.

The result was that I got a couple of WSPR contacts on 40m in the US > 8K miles, not bad for somewhere between 3 & 5W output. Nothing on FT8 though. For digital I am using my UK callsign M0WVE and the Maidenhead locator for Melbourne QF21mr.
