Well, I think that's good. Good on F-T-8 since its very first week on the air. And I really don't think it's a Q-R-P mode. It is a weak signal mode, but it's not Q-R-P. And I kind of miss some park operators because they're running power that's too low for their particular conditions. So I'm glad that you're running power on F-T-8. I have a Yezu F-T-897 and I have lithium batteries for it and it can run 20 watts, but I'm thinking that I might need to run more power. And I also have a buddy pole which works best if I set it up as a ground plane with resonant radials. I get the best luck with that. As a matter of fact, I worked into the Indian Ocean using the buddy pole, running 100 watts. The darn antenna can work in the right spot. Anyway, thanks a lot, Bill. And good morning to everybody on the net. W7VAS, KD7H.
