Hello. It is possible to use it from 10m to 20m, but lower bands can be matched also, it only depends on the tuner. Anyway, for low (40/80m) bands, a solution with capacitive hats on top should provide a better efficiency of the radiant system, but that's work for further analysis. Best regards,

I'm not sure that LOTW would have any issues with storage, or hosting. Last I checked, there were 128 million contacts in their database. Let's say that each contact took up 2000 characters of storage. That works out to about 256 gigabytes of storage; Hard disks that hold that are about $90 at F
