Appears so! I need to find my QRP watt meter and check it. On Tuesday, July 2, 2024 at 09:31:40 AM CDT, Ken WA8JXM <[email protected]> wrote: Ah! So "zero power" on a K3 is not actually zero?! Good to know! Ken WA8JXM On Tue, Jul 2, 2024 at 9:46 AM Mike Furrey <[email protected]> wrote:
I accidentally made a QRP Q on 160 ... I had just moved and set up my station and wanted to test a feature off the air but couldn't find a dummy load. Sooooo, I cranked the power of the K3 to zero, dropped my call, NO3M came back with a report. That dude has some ears! 73, Mike WA5POK On Monday, July 1, 2024 at 10:59:20 PM CDT, Ken WA8JXM <[email protected]> wrote: For the younger crowd, 25 watts was the max power allowed in several 160m segments (especially the opposite coast) back in the 60's and 70's. 100w was the max anywhere in the U.S. When I first got on 160 in 1964, working two states away was often considered DX for me! Yes, there were exceptional stations, but they were rare.
