I have been running a center-fed dipole antenna in my bonus room while I work on finishing my unfinished storage room for my ham shack and putting antennas in my attic. With this temporary antenna setup I'm sticking to digital modes and <=10W of power. 20M meters was great on FT8 and I've extended my dipole for 40m and was able to still tune 20M and surprisingly 30M. The room and space is not great so reception for 40M has not exceeded 700 miles. While on 20M I have received as far as 4400 miles. But the long term plan I hope is the Slinktenna that I am waiting to be shipped.
With my new vanity call sign I'm starting today with WSPR transmissions on 40M and see how the dipole is doing. I will catch a screen capture of my performance today from pskreporter and add to this post.
