Dennis, First of all, you voltage is dropping a full volt (unless that was a typo), and strange readings like that are usually the result of poor solder connections. Reflow all your solder connections, adding a bit of flux from new solder to wet the joint. You should be doing the reflow with an

WB6TMY: The only way the rest of us are going to ever get any use out of the band is to use it and generate some CQ's. Otherwise the DX'ers will continue having their way. Isn't this true on every band? That's why we have QRP calling frequencies away from the mainstream DX areas.

Dave, My K2 also produces clicks on 40m which disappear if the antenna is disconnected or turned away from strong BC stations above 7100 kHz. Running CAL PLL has not cured the problem, and I have since found the same problem on 15m. It might exist on other bands but I have not had the time to

Dennis, That should be OK - 0.06 amps plus a 0.16 amp increase is 0.22 Amps, just like the manual indicates. OTOH, I am concerned about the fact that the displayed voltage drops so much. If you have a 'wimpy' power supply connected that might be expected, but if your power supply is

while QSK is a barely adequate 22 wpm or so in normal mode, it sure seems a lot slower in split mode. At a common place 28 wpm, there is no hearing between letters, only between words, meaning it is hard to quickly pick up that a DX station is sending, and listen in time to hear who he is
