FT8, 10W into my loft housed 10m band delta loop, matched to the radio using the old manual ATU I fixed up, got me a bit of 30m action yesterday morning. That is a 1/3 wave loop radiator with an off the chart SWR on 30m before the ATU brought it into line. Theory probably says it's pointless trying to use, but it did very well.
Another band MW7TTA logged on plus saw a few stations go back to another CT member. Quite a few contacts made over Europe and my first couple into the US.. W7DO and WB2REM
