I've just bought a second hand Mission centre surround sound speaker M7C1 as an extension speaker for my This was after I'd read, I think, a article on doing this. I must say it works really well and does make it easier to pick out weak station voice audio. Much cheaper than dedicated speakers.

Amazing 6m opening is over.

I logged 30 QSOs on . My trusty 80m is amazing on 6m band and with 20W from the list of stations who heard me is quite staggering.

And this was the first full day on grid KP45. Maybe there's more amazing openings coming next week!

@M0TDN I changed my fans. Pair of Noctuas went in. I can still hear the fans but it is much more pleasant.

Yesterday the propagation was on my side and I managed to have a QSO with from island on 15m band.

This is one of my longest QSOs with distance of 14421km. This was accomplished with Yaesu running 30W to 80m antenna.

3D2AG writes on his QRZ page that short path to Europe is blocked by mountains so this might have been long path QSO. I don't know how to verify that if that's even possible?

YouTube - Yaesu FT-891 Current Draw Review

@df9hc @F1RUM Yes, according to 's measurements RX current consumption is about 1A.

However, the radio specs say 2A. I confused these two.

@F1RUM Note that consumes 2A current on RX. It is quite significant current draw for portable ops.

The achilles heel of the Yaesu FT-891 is probably the power connector. Mine started to go wonky, so I did the thing most other reasonable people would do, I converted my rig to the Anderson Powerpole standard. Watch now to see how it's done:
