I am having some fun with the PSK20. My first contact with it was XE1REW who was operating portable from Tlaxcala, Mexico. Tuesday I QSOed with KO6JC in Moreno Valley, CA, from the truck during my lunch break at work. Today I heard lots of DX stations (Germany, Poland, Scotland) from the truck but didn't work anyone, but tonight during a certain televised speech I was not interested in listening to, I was able to work TG9AHM in Guatemala City, a new country for me.
I will be trying again tomorrow at lunchtime so see if I can pick up some more, all while running 1~2 watts output. That's only 17 dB down from 100 watts, about 3 S-units, as they say.
