Last weekend I've finished my QCX-mini kit for 20m from QRPLabs.
This was a birthday present from my wife and she is very happy, that the QCX-mini now works great ;-) I'm too ...
On Sunday I was able to make three contacts to the US south coast - 5w and a dipole - thats fine.

My Mosquita got a new housing as described in this post. As you can see, there is still enough room for a memory morse keyer.
I've planned to sell my ELECRAFT K2 so I placed some adds in the various HAM sources and I found a buyer willing give my K2 a new home.
Fortunately I decided to do a quick check on the K2 functions, to be sure, that the buyers receives a full functional K2.
I did the check in the late afternoon on 80m and I was shocked - strong stations can be received every 7kHz. Testing the transmitter shows a totally unstable RF signal.
I've ordered the LF-converter BX-082 kit from the German HAM Radio magazine FUNKAMATEUR already some months ago and now found the time to build and test it.
