Hi Jim you sound like a fellow addict, I’m also addicted to Ten Ten haha I also have an Omni A and Omni 7, As well as a Paragon 😊 I not completely obsessed I do have a strong dislike of PTO rebuilts… I have a love hate relationship, when it’s good it’s very very good…

Ten Tec Argonaut 515 QRP: this one has a mod of a switchable 500Hz crystal filter which makes the receiver just incredible & the QSK on CW is the smoothest I’ve ever used. I love this rig. It looks really nice when operating as the LEDs flash in sync with the transmitted code, 2.5 watts of delight

C21MM – Nauru DXpedition.
Copied on a hike using my portable Malahit-DSP2 SDR receiver which has an FT8 decoder. I love the new 60 meter band. It’s a shame that was too far away from home try to get back to work them.

My paragon is lovely to use, & still pretty good performance on the high bands. But nowhere near the performance of my Yaesu FTDX101MP 😀 the Titan 425 and auto coupler are in a class of their own. 😀

Conditions not great: solar flux index is marginal, the A index unsettled and the K index quite.
I went on CW late this afternoon & worked 55 stations, which was fun for a casual operation.

The first person who inspired me, my hero, G0NLO (SK) Geoff (my dad).

Collins S-line, SSB TX & RX

my first station used KW separates KW202 TX & KW204 RX and I always dreamed of the Colins S-Line 😊
