At first I didn’t realize it was Denny. On September 11, 2023 at about 2330Z I had walked back into the shack after dinner. I think DX spots showed an Indian station on 20 meter SSB. Without realizing who it was, I tuned him in on my Mythbuster rig, heard the other station sign off, and quickly threw in my call. Denny came back to me right away, and I think both of us then realized that we recognized the call of the other station. Wow, it was Denny, VU2DGR, the Wizard of Kerala! At the time of the QSO, I didn’t have my phone with me; after we spoke, I went to get it, so the video above captures part of Denny’s subsequent contact. (You can also at one point hear Guapo barking.)
Denny has been running a wonderful station that combines SDR gear with and HDR tube type amplifier and a homebrew Moxon.
Here is Denny’s station. The transceiver is a RadioBerry. the amplifier and power supply are on the other table.
