The HTX10, a converted CB rig, etc, will make many good contacts. Of course, with heavy qsb or poor band conditions, you will lose a seemingly disproportionant number of contacts. However, if low power is all you have for 10 meter AM, QRP certainly beats QRT!
While one doesn't often find CB rigs converted to 15 meters any more, low power works very well there too. So set the rice box for that 25 watt carrier output and get on the air! Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs
