Shortly, I intend to go on 6m FT8 RX with the V2000 vertical omni antenna.
On previous mornings, I have preceded with a few minutes on QRP TX (2.5W). UPDATE 1102z: My very brief TX period resulted in 5 spots. On RX, 141
stations spotted.
Over the last few years this SDR based transceiver from ICOM has led the
field and become very popular. It is a 100W transceiver covering from
160m-4m (in Europe) with a built-in auto ATU.
