Handing out a few points while testing a new logging setup with wireless control of the radio after we were done with the VHF contest (the big 10 & 2 m antennas are on the same mast here).
Running the IC-705 on WiFi …
Lots of people didn’t want to believe I was QRP but really guys, it was just an IC-705 on battery power! The heavy lifting was done by the antenna, of course. QRP means low power, not compromise antennas. 😉 Obviously good enough to generate some small runs, too, at least after being spotted on the cluster. Thanks for the QSOs and see you in the next one!
