57 Q's in 2 hours.
My Li Battery was still good for another hour.
Imagine what would happen if you took your rig out in the back yard and called CQ on 10 meters .

Very awesome! I think the station you worked would be my old buddy WA3IOU - Geno who lives out near Pittsburgh.

You are right,
i corrected the list, Thanks...

ps: i have a PRC319 'Loaner' now available to any QRPer io Group member in the USA.
(Our local Astronomy Club has a 'Loaner' telescope for beginners. That's where i got the idea).

If you have been wanting to try one out, here is your chance.
If you are not familiar with the 319, you can read the
G0ozs's web site at: https://g0ozs.co.uk/mdwiki/clansman/#prc319.md
This is a fixed frequency, channelized radio, so there is no tuning around.
It will do 5W or 50W.

If you want to borrow this PRC319, i will send you the PRC319 Loan Agreement.
There is only 1 unit available, so there is a waiting list.
When it becomes available, i will notify you and you will then send $100 for shipping.
You must pay the shipping (about $75) and insurance (about $25 for $1500 insurance) both ways.
(or pick it up in COS and deliver it back).
You can borrow it for up to 60 days.
Alternate plan: You can reserve it for your 2 week vacation to Colorado Springs (COS).
Pick it up, use it for POTA/SOTA's and return it all free.
i can include a LiIon battery for local pickups.

Sorry, no shipments can be made outside of the USA because of ITAR Regulations.
https://www.varonis.com/blog/itar-compliance

It comes with a TURF, TURF Extender, Handset, 8 foot whip and a 110VAC / 25 VDC power supply. .
You must use your own key/keyer.
No battery is included, They are too heavy to ship around the country.
You must have a General or higher class FCC license and be listed in the FCC data base.
This 319 was donated to the '319 Loaner Program' by Clare Owens Jr, K2RJB, Apex, NC.
