73 from Jim, AG6IF. This is a quick psk31 QSO between southern California and Alabama..about 1800 miles on 40meters, 7.035MHZ upper sideband USB. I am using only 1 watt of RF energy..yes, only 1 watt, this is sometimes called QRP. Using an FT-847 Yaesu radio with Donner Interface, with a RG8X about 100 foot coax, to a 2.5 to 1 talented Balun, to a 40m loop suspended only 6 feet in the air. My station is running Solar powered, using 12 volt AGM battery technology to keep her up and running all night.
