In this video I tryout a small amp on a IC-705 to see how they perform on a Parks On The Air activation. I also test a new super light weight Linked Dipole that hopefully will be available from Coffee and Ham Radios! I know it’s QRP but it may be the only radio someone has.

Technological progress has impacted radio contesting, most strongly on operating systems, logging and entries to the competition but also on the technical facilities used to maximize score.
Martin VK7GN talks about radios used in those early field days to the modern SDR and top range transceivers like the Icom 7851. From the paper logging to computer logging. From entries by post to real-time internet entry.
