Hello Harry,
From your video, it looks like the IC-7300 is in SSB (LSB) mode. This is correct for the phone section of the 40m Band where you are testing. It’s normal for the Power, SWR and many of the other meters to bounce up and down with the level of your voice. If you run the rig in FM or AM mode into a dummy load, you should see a constant level as long as you are transmitting using PTT down.
Beyond the meters, are you having other problems getting your signal on the air? How about during receive, if you connect an antenna and tune update and down the range of 7 MHz to 7.3 MHz (the 40m band), do you hear any stations?

Hello Everyone,
The video of our May Membership Meeting featuring the FlexRadio SDR presentation by Mike Walker, VA3MW is now available on our Membership Meeting page. Don’t forget to log onto n1fd.org.
Hello Rick,
No, you should be able to see it. Make sure that you are logged into n1fd.org before you go to the page. When you are there, scroll to the bottom and you should see the PDF archives.
All of the videos from Ham Bootcamp Spring 2021 are now available on our Ham Bootcamp page.
We are doing great with signups for the setup and takedown teams at Summer Field Day! The first item in this thread has been updated to reflect all of the signups so far. We are also going to be hosting an emergency message passing drill and fox hunting at Summer Field Day. Please email us at [email protected] if you’d like to participate in either of these activities.
Hello Jim,
Right now, the only significant 10m propagation is via ground wave (i.e. line of site). Not sure where the SDR was that you listened on but unless it was pretty close to our location in NH, it probably did not hear much.
As we get closer to June/July, we should get some E-Skip (Es) activity which will sometimes open 10m for longer distances. The best thing for you to do is what you did on Sunday – try a nearby SDR to Nashua, NH, and see what you can hear. If we get Es propagation, you should be able to hear more folks on our HF net.
Hi Jeffery,
We’ll be setting up on Friday. Would you be interested in joining the Station Setup team that will be putting our station together once we get to Milford on Friday?
