Yesterday the 10m and 12m bands opened up to North America from Europe, but I couldn’t make any contacts running QRP on FT8 with my end-fed antenna.
So I decided to MacGyver a solution: I grabbed a PVC pipe, wrapped it in aluminum tape, raised it up… and the miracle happened.
73 and DX!
Photos soon.

Ojala sea algo random, pero he hablado esta mañana tanto con Aliexpress como con AEAT y han coincidido que el cobro era consecuencia del cambio en el tema de aranceles del 1/1/2026. Otro tema es que @correosesp.bsky.social cobre 4,45+IVA por la gestión aduanera (<=25€) sin darte opción.

Después de la aventura de ir a @correosesp.bsky.social a recoger el paquete de @aliexptess.bsky.social y pagar los "Gastos aduaneros" +IVA del 21% + Suplidos, he recopilado información sobre el estado de la cuestión y lo he escrito aqui:

ATENCIÓN
Acabo de sufrir la nueva Ley Aduanera que ha entrado en vigor con fecha1/1/2026 en España (UE) y un producto de Aliexpress (un filtro paso bajos) que costaba 3,69€ le han soplado 6,10€ de aranceles.
Se ha eliminación el umbral de exención de 150 € para envíos de bajo valor en la UE.

Leo que está a punto de publicarse un nuevo firmware para el ATSmini llamado H-RADIO 4.3 FLY, entiendo que sería de pago y su desarrollador harduino.ru
Estoy expectante pues podría incorporar la recepción de FT8 y algún decoder más de los que incorpora en sus hermanos mayores.

I'll prepare a slightly more serious antenna and give it a try.

With my X6200&EndFed I can reach the SPAIN-USA path on FT8. The theoretical calculation of how much I would need to reach New Zealand, and it comes out at about +10dB/50W, that’s the maximum the SMA connectors and RG58 cable can handle. Do you have experience with HF amplifiers in the 20–50 W range?

Initial FreeDV digital modulation tests with the Xiegu X6200.
Only a limited number of stations are received, but when decoding is successful, it represents a different dimension in HF communications, with virtually no background noise.

You may have much more expensive equipment, like Icom or Yaesu, but you can’t do what I do with my Xiegu X6200. And even if you could, you wouldn’t dare.
