Working DX Barefoot With YAESU's FTDX101MP

Tuesday evening 21:00 local time operating SSB on the 20m HF band.
Some pretty cool band conditions this evening here on the ham Radio bands.
The DX signals are coming in loud and clear on my HF station - YAESU FTDX101MP - hooked up to my Multi band HF mini beam Cushcraft MA5B antenna.
I have the great pleasure of catching up with Yutaka JH1GEX from Japan who is coming in very well at my location in N.England.
best 73 and good DX. tnx for watching.

Thanks Rob. Hope you are making plenty of satellite qsos. The passes are when I'm working at the moment so it's HF bands for a week or two. 73 thanks for passing by.

I work them barefoot all the Time. Good Job Simon....💯👌

Me too. I haven't used my amplifier since summer 2022 since I got this radio. I haven't noticed any real difference either as I only ran 400w back then. I prefer barefoot operating because its so quick to hop up and down the bands. No tuning up or warming up just pounce and grab the DX 😅. Hope to bump into you on 40m or 80m soon, have fun on the banks of the rhine 👍
