10m 3W FT8 (Tuesday)

My gear (10m QDX-M - see picture) was turned on at about 1410z.  It is fed via a series of suitably rated diodes to keep well within the 12V power limit. The output without the diodes is about 4W, I suspect I am running around 3W.

UPDATE 1552z: 315 stations spotted on RX with plenty of stations in the USA, Canada, South America and Africa. I find it amazing something this tiny works so well. With my 200mW 10m WSPR beacon and this rig I get about 95% of my amateur radio fun these days.
