About a year ago, I purchased a QMX kit from QRP Labs as soon as they came out. This is the low band version (80, 60, 40, 30, 20) which is all that was available at the time.

Well, after a year it's finally finished (It's a long story...watch the vid if you want to know). I didn't purchase the case with the radio as I intended to 3d print one...which I haven't done yet. But I didn't want to wait!! So I decided to try a little naked POTA! With a naked radio that is....what did you think I meant?

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to get some great DX with this little radio running less than 5 watts! Come along to see that DX and how the rest of the activation went.
