Wow, THE RADIO GODS HAVE SPOKEN (TRGHS). Pete gets on 40 with his new-old FPM5 homebrew rig and works homebrew legend Jeff Damm WA7MLH, who was also running a homebrew SSB rig. HB2HB! For those of you who don’t know, Jeff is the guy who built many of the inspirationally ugly rigs in Solid State Design for the Radio Amateur. Pete’s second QSO was with SolderSmoke podcast listener K7ADD. TRGHS! <\/i><\/b><\/div>\n

Hi Bill,<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Was on 40M yesterday with the FPM5 rig and after finishing a QSO was called by WA7MLH (Jeff Damm \u2013the road kill guy and prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Wes Hayward). Jeff was operating portable 7 in NW Montana running a homebrew 40 Watt SSB transceiver off of batteries being charged by a solar panel. Now that is real radio. I thanked him once again for sending me a goodie box about 5 years ago and am still using those parts.<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Later after another QSO was called by K7ADD, Ben, and he couldn\u2019t wait to tell me he was a long time SS listener and stated listening to SS made him take a whole new interest in ham radio \u2013especially building stuff. <\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So you never know.<\/b><\/div>\n
