Was amazed when Barry N1EU called me, this is the second time he’s worked me on my milliwatt adventures. Not sure what the power output of my RockMite 20 is, but my standard RM20 running from 12V puts out about 330mW. I’m guessing that my challenge RM-20 would have been putting out something in the region of 150 to 200mW. Feeder loss somewhere around 1dB.
