2,5W QRP on 60m

Since my FT-817 has extended TX now I'm able to do some QRP work on the 60m band. I think the quiet 60m band is the ultimate band for QRP. And yes, according my contacts yesterday I think I'm right. I dropped the power to a mighty 2,5 Watt and with JT65A I worked a few stations early in the evening.





SQ2LXN  Poland 60m JT65 (Not shure if Poland is allowed on 60?)
LA5TFA Norway 60m JT65
OZ6GH Denmark 60m JT65
G3NYY England 60m JT65
ON4PS Belgium 60m JT65
4X1LM Israel 60m JT65
PA2WCB  Netherlands 60m JT65

Not real DX, although Israel is a nice one with 2,5W only. DX can be worked but only in the middle of the night or very early in the morning before sunrise.

Hallo Bert, ook al aktief op 60m? Is voor QRPp ook wel een leuke band. Even weer een 60m antenne met blikjes in elkaar frutselen, fluitje van een cent voor jou ;-). 73, Bas
