Today I am on 10m 2.5W FT8. Apart from a very brief period on TX (1 local spot) I am RX only.
UPDATE 1106z: Just 4 spots so far with the best A71MM (5184km) in Qatar. Disappointing so far. I must check that nothing is wrong.
UPDATE 1143z: Plugging the antenna into the IC-705 revealed lots of stations, I plugged the antenna back into the QDX-M and immediately spotted 67 stations! I wonder if the coax plug is intermittent?
UPDATE 1337z: Re-soldered the plug and again lots of stations copied on the IC-705 but remarkably few on the QDX-M, which is very odd. Looks like there is something amiss with the QDX-M. It also seems to be running somewhat warm, which I would not have expected RX only on the QDX-M. Has anyone seen anything similar?
