@AE4WX There'll be more times to come. I may be out tomorrow and maybe Monday and Tuesday depending on how bad the CME effects forecasted to hit those days.
Good news, the radio club president (KR3LL) and friend works at Kicker and took my LCD module and de-soldered it after which I was able to complete the assembly. It all fits in the case and aligns perfect. I was able to tune it fine. However I'm not getting any RF power out, I can receive fine when connected to an antenna. Do you have any recommendations for tracing the issue?
@F4JWJ I've had my Buddipole for almost 20 years and have used this 6 Meter Yagi on Many occasions. Always tested it when setting up and have never had an issues with detuning.
@AE4WX I had one CW 20m QSO at 1336 UTC. The last 40 minutes only one FT8 station received on 20 meters. I'm running a 20 QCX mini WSPR station just to collect data.
@G0TRT Oh it was easy. I got 10 for a valid activation in 12 minutes with CW. Switched over to FT8 after about 20 CW QSOs and got close to 100 FT8 QSOs.
