This digital transceiver kit from QRPGuys is a DSB radio, using both the upper and lower sideband. It is designed for the FT8 mode and crystal controlled. Since I have no use for FT8 I decided to order a custom crystal from Quartslab on the 7078KHz JS8 chat mode frequency.

The ladder-line J-Pole is a great portavle antenna for VHF and even upper HF bands. Designed with the M0UKD calculator at: https://m0ukd.com/calculators/slim-jim-and-j-pole-calculator/ I am testing it here using my Racal VRM-5080 tank radio.

This models seems to have some issues with the squelch and receiver sensitivity on certain frequencies. While I really like Retevis radios this one might not be a good choice, unless someone can tell me what causes the issue... I verified the frequency of the marine channel frequency and tried in wide and narrow FM.

Finally, freedom! I joined my friends at the Fort de la Revère, Col D'Eze, for some QRP SSB (low power voice) radio with my new QRPVer Minion SDR. I cut a half-wave wire for an end-fed antenna using a 49:1 transformer and also tried a 64:1 small (FT-82-43) transformer with a 20.25m wire (half-wave on 40m) in an inverted-V configuration using my Spiderbeam 12m fiberglass mast. I am now on vacation for a couple weeks so expect more field operations :-) I know you guys are going to ask about my hat, so it is a Stetson Bozeman.
