Made my first QSO today from Northern KY to Central Florida with 10 watts. 😀

Dave, Thanks for your reply. For 20m I am using an alpha delta dx-cc in my attic. Radio is set to full power of 10 watt. I posted an image of my psk result, at times I am heard as far away as Europe. I do have a 100w linear but like QRP. I make contacts with FT8 all over the world with no issue. I am primarily using SDR Control on my Mac for this, it takes care of the radio connections very well. Moving to Windows for VARAC I have to change the setting on the radio and I believe it is just a matter of missing something in the setup of the radio. I know I will get it working, but because of work and family, Radio takes a backseat to other responsibilities and was looking for a quick fix. 73 Bill W4BRZ

So I had been using the FT 8 preset. I happened to look at the speaker on windows and the sound for the USB Audio Codec was muted. That may have been my issue today. Unfortunately I have to get ready for work. Thanks for your help and I will keep working with it later. 73 Bill W4BRZ

Calling on 14.105 waiting for response on slot one. Sorry for not being clear.

I am beaconing now on 20m. I just called CQ on slot one.
