      Thank you, the DX contact to France was a great way to finish the activation. The band conditions on 20m weren’t great so it was a great surprise contact, 73

      Thanks Matt, yes it was great to get a contact to France for my last contact. It was a great day out operating portable, the weather is warm at the moment even though it is the middle of winter. Thanks again for the feedback, 73

    Kicking myself i did not order one of these little rigs before we came on holiday!!
    So i will have to be happy with getting a suntan instead of working on HF on the beach here in South West France, but the XYL has booked a week in late August in the same appartment, so a SW-3B should be here before then.......i hope, thanks for the upload, always great to see your videos !

      The SW-3B is a great radio for portable operations, it is my favourite QRP radio. Hopefully you will have received your radio before your next holiday and you can then operate from the beach. Thanks for watching and your feedback, 73

    Speed WPM ?

    • @vk2ter
      @vk2ter  Год назад +2

      I am sending at about 18 WPM. Unfortunately the SW-3B doesn’t show the transmit speed but the RBN indicates 18 WPM, 73
