Best feeling is building your own gear , 5watts or less and working DX - OH what great feeling ! Love the setup , QMX and the N0SA Keys!!!

Best advice for learning dx calls is running Morse runner community edition and do arrl dx. After awhile you’ll know where they are based on the prefix. Leave everything unchecked until you get better and roll the speed back. I think my buddy w5mx has a few videos up from the contest station running Europe , Russia and Japan. It’s the little islands that throw me off. It’s a game changer. If you need help learning the f keys, let me know

Thanks for the advice Jay! I have Morse runner on my computer so I will begin doing this. It’s definitely a familiarity opportunity. Thanks buddy!

Yes I second that…Morse Runner Community Edition. I thought I left a similar comment but I think RU-vid may be doing something funny. I’m using it to build my comprehension and instant character recognition. The next plateau to get past.

You're definitely not alone when it comes to struggling with DX calls. A lot of times they're right above the noise, and I can only catch a few characters. Yesterday I was trying to copy a French station that was super weak-I think it was probably F1BLL after seeing your log, but I logged F1BWL after sending a bunch of question marks. Spotting on WWFF usually helps me snag a couple DX if the conditions are decent. I also got IW2NXI yesterday. I missed out on the M7, I'm a couple M's short. I'm on the waitlist for the next N0SA drop. Those keys are like the Begali of POTA! POTAplus is such a great extension. Definitely a must for serious hunters. Also If I can't hear WB0RLJ, something's really off with propagation!

@@Tim-K5OHY Thanks for your comment, Tim. You’re making me feel better! Haha. I shared with you my Utah State Park activation a couple weeks ago. I struggled to copy multiple DX but others I got the first try. I had a 6 character Czech call come to me and had a clean copy the first time. But I realized it was likely because I had already had 10+ DX up until that point and I shifted my brain to anticipate anything! Whereas prior I’d see a DX 1 out of every 500 QSOs instead of 1 out of 10. N0SA is absolutely the Begali of POTA paddles. Especially that M5 it’s my highest confidence portable key. 73 om

I love throw lines but this one didn’t go as smoothly as it normally does. 😂 73 de KI7QCF

Its crazy what can be done with low power. I have been doing it for years and still get a rush with every contact. I am glad ro see another enthusiastic cw op. Hope to work you soon. 73s WA6MOW

I think the single most satisfying feeling to date in my ham radio journey is qrp cw field operation dx QSOs. Nothing compares. :) 73 om de KI7QCF

The XYL rolls her eyes when I talk about my calls. Soon to get out of North America.... Keep working on it, we'll both get better. 🤜🤛

Right on, I can't wait to do DX to Brazil. Vince VE6LK diagnosed me with "SWR foldback" today so I think I have to go back to inverted V

Hola 👋 Me gusta mucho QMX, parece muy interesante y divertido, pero tarda mucho en entregar 😢, larga lista espera 😮 73/72
@Utahforrest
@Utahforrest Месяц назад
Yo compré uno en marzo pero se me perdió la paciencia por esa lista tan larga así que compré dos kits mientras para armar yo mismo (a pesar de que no tenía experiencia!) Ese QMX en el video es uno que yo armé. 😎 Usted lo puede hacer! 73 de KI7QCF

Don’t sweat it, copying the DX will come quickly. Soon you’ll copy them as easy as W/VE calls.

I hate it when I rip my sack ... that one blends very well into the fall foliage, time for one of the neon green Weaver versions.
@Utahforrest
@Utahforrest Месяц назад
This was my first time losing my sack in the bush. But I do agree that a neon green weaver would prevent further mishaps such as this. 73 buddy catch you on the bands again soon!

Hi Forrest. What is that rope you are using for your throw line? It looks way better than what I use. Mine is heavier and always gets tangles. 73 de KM3STU
@Utahforrest
@Utahforrest Месяц назад
I believe this can be found on Amazon as well! Has worked great for me. Go watch the K4SWL video he shows how he winds it. But, I still occasionally get very bad tangles and spend 20 mins untangling. forestershop.com/forester-arborist-throw-line-kit-rope-throw-bag/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrp-3BhDgARIsAEWJ6SwMfm_0Jvt016G7GhspivsaLq9p0xqmyBGJ0oeG9mC7Yakmb6rhsFQaAghgEALw_wcB

What kind of throw rope do you use? Always scared of losing my parachord 😂

Don’t replace it with another Petzl throw bag. Mine ripped almost new. It’s totally one thin layer of canvas and a kids bday party balloon.

We tried doing wwff. We are pretty savvy but still found it hard to navigate and didn't end up submitting it. If you end up doing a video about it, maybe we'll give it another shot 😉 73 Mike N4FFF es Becky N4BKY
