Had the pleasure of operating some FT8 this afternoon on 15m. Made 2 contacts with Japan, running 10 watts from the Discovery TX-500 into a WRC Platinum 1000.

Nice setup but the big question is what kind of dip did you use on them chips?

Chips, with no dip. Some reason I like them plain. But, I will never turn down anything that resembles dip.

What laptop do you take into the field?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Microsoft Surface Pro 7, 8 Gb Ram, 128 Gb storage. I was running Linux on it, but just recently made the switch back to Windows.
