That sounds like an interesting set up there Rob, but most of that equipment I'm not familiar with, but it sounds interesting. I've never been, I was telling somebody earlier, I've never used an amp, but I've also never done real QRP. I've run under low power in some funny situations, but I've been, in a couple of times I've had to kick the power down very low. I'm not even sure how many watts it was, I know sometimes I had to be down around 10 watts or less. That was when we had a jerry-rigged antenna, just a bunch of wires strung around the house, and it was a new house, we didn't have any antennas or anything up yet. We didn't want to get into a contest, my son was a brand new hand, so we got the radio set up, and the house had fire alarm automatic smoke detector, fire alarm intrusion lamp, all that stuff built into it. And it would set the alarm off if I translated more than about 10 watts, so. But we made plenty of contacts in it. They had 10 that worked great. It was just open wire just run around under the gutter. We had vinyl siding and vinyl guttering and it worked great. All right. All right. All right. Is there anybody else out there that wants to check in to the RV Radio Network Equivalent Multimodal Net, please call K4HM.
