Tried a bit of JT65-HF on 20M for about an hour. I was running only 25 watts into the End-Fed. The antenna still needs a little more length, but it seems to be putting out OK. I was heard and responded to by Hams in Minnesota, Iowa, and Florida. I received an Italian Station, but he did not respond to my calls. The mode is a lot of fun, but contacts can take up to 8 minutes to complete, The mode is very reliable, and the signals sometimes are unheard by your ears, but the computer decodes them just fine...Give the mode a shot if you are able...
