You just don't get a kick like that doing it with a kilowatt of SSB from all commercial gear.

Love the transparent rig!

Hej Hanz, Nice vid! He sends NG, NG, NG CPY. Indeed no good copy. Your RST was 319. But you managed. I prefer at bad conditions to slow down bit (QRS) this makes bit easier to copy. GD LCK with QRP and homebrew!!!

Awesome looking rig.

Wow. Superb. Really superb. I found this video because I worked JM7OLW this morning, but I was at least using 100 watts. To do it with 2 watts...man, that must have been great fun. My hat is off to you! Hope to work you sometime. KC2SIZ

Very nice rig! Looks like something James Bond used to diffuse with 1sec to go at the end of every Bond film! 73 - Rob VK2GOM

Very good Hanz. In poor condx, I use to send at lower speed to give DX a chance. Keep the good work OM.

@VA2SG Thank you for the comment. I think that is a very good idea and will keep it in mind. Always learning... I was just so excited to make the contact, and he simply wanted to confirm my call, which I eventually did, but not so immediately. At one point he was sending "NG NG NG NG," I wonder what that means? No Good?

[VA2SG]

@w1jsb No problem, if we'd be running a kilowatt, there would be no question about the speed ;-)

First time I copy NG, honestly donno what he meant, but JA with 2 watts is just big time thrill. Again, congrats. (I thought I was hot working VK on 40 with 100watts ;-))))
