It's Christmas Day 2020, and I wanted to test out the super-light portable kit using the Wonderwand Widebander III and my Yaesu FT-817ND.
Let's see if we can make some Christmas Day contacts on 20 metres.

Just got my 818nd so you have given me the inspiration for QRP , never again will I believe the expression "life is too short for QRP "

Thank you, it’s very much appreciated indeed. QRP can be very rewarding when you’re competing on air against some big power houses and the buzz you get when you’re acknowledged will never get old for me. Enjoy the QRP operating! 73’

For goodness sake, something so simple yet I totally missed it. I too have the Wonderwand but never thought to do this with the tuner. I have now cut myself a 10m length of wire and will use the tuneable counterpoise that came with my wonderwand, thank you for the inspiration....

Good job Mike. I am using ic-705 and sadly don't have a balcony so have to use compromised indoor antenna's but when conditions are good it works ok. Getting a magnetic loop in the new year to improve things. 73's and Merry Xmas

The 817 doesn't output 5 watts with the internal battery ?

@OnTheMicwithMike Жыл бұрын

Correct, but with a windcamp battery it does very close and obviously external power 5w.
