Yes, the little TX is good for testing antennas - as well as testing the patience of other operators! Another operator to copy my low power signal this past weekend was John G4CNN. John did a great job of pulling in my QRP signal to give me my furthest QRP QSO so far - at a distance of 122 km. I was running 5 watts RF to my 12 m vertical. Some details of my QRP TX can be found at: http://www.alg.demon.co.uk/radio/136/qrptx.htm Regards to all, Steve GW4ALG
