Yea, the 5BTV allows me to listen to 160 and it actually tunes but by the time my 100 watt signal hits the antenna, it's probably more like 25. My vertical will work much better once I get it relocated and put a bunch of radials under it. I'm very happy with it fo sure. JT65 has really helped me get states I did not think I could get on 80. I of course have to be there at the right time when the wave of propagation is headed east but so far, so good! Thanks for reading and commenting!!! 73!KL8DXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200585132950073517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489942416795414473.post-880424177433537972011-01-31T09:11:07.701-09:002011-01-31T09:11:07.701-09:00RR on using a 5BTV and 100 watts on 80 meters, as ...RR on using a 5BTV and 100 watts on 80 meters, as I am now at 45 states including both Alaska and Hawaii to work. Did hear KL7IWC during the BARTG RTTY test, as I belive there is still hope.<br /><br />Perhaps JT65 will be in the stars for me afterall.<br /><br />73 de KJ8OAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489942416795414473.post-87702665437572345842011-01-31T07:14:17.857-09:002011-01-31T07:14:17.857-09:00Bas, that's awesome!

New radios have great receivers in them and married to great software like this, it makes the impossible, possible. Addicting for sure.KL8DXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200585132950073517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489942416795414473.post-70571154592539110262011-01-30T23:44:21.921-09:002011-01-30T23:44:21.921-09:00Hi Phil, I just returned to JT65A on HF and have b...Hi Phil, I just returned to JT65A on HF and have been heard in ZL (18000km+) with only my 5W and my 80m loop. That indeed is a lot of excitement. Although I do not have the flutter you have I can imagine your exitement. I think next time I'll try with my Icom 706 with a bit more power to see if you can receive me. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489942416795414473.post-14871234340719750972011-01-30T22:26:30.428-09:002011-01-30T22:26:30.428-09:00Thanks, Larry!

Nice to be able to finally work back into the NE on 80 meters.KL8DXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200585132950073517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489942416795414473.post-96998518344319882011-01-30T21:07:54.590-09:002011-01-30T21:07:54.590-09:00You and I are obviously both on the same wavelengt...You and I are obviously both on the same wavelength, Phil.<br /><br />BTW the smearing of the tones you see is a result of Doppler from the turbulent ionosphere.KL2Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00780827990696387654noreply@blogger.com
