! It was a SUPERB rig for the QRP enthusiast and did just about everything that one could want. The antennas used have been modest: a 50-60 ft long wire at about 15 ft average height and a V2000 vertical on 6m.  The IC703 features a built-in DSP filter and auto ATU as well as speech processing an a CW keyer with 3 message memories.  It is an ideal "all-in-one" ham station for QRPers.Mine was sold in recent years to another local retired amateur as I already had an FT817 that was enough for my needs. I do miss it at times though!   If you can find one - they are not easy to find these days - I can highly recommend this transceiver.Unlike the FT817 and the Elecraft KX3, the IC703 does not have provision for an internal battery pack: it is more of a small home or picnic table QRP radio than a backpack radio, although Icom sold carrying accessories to support this sort of use.Some points of noteThe RX is nicely quiet, but sensitive, even without the DSP switched in. It reminded me of my old FT7 in this respect: that was the best receiver I'd ever used and this one rivals i

Audio reports have been excellent with the ability to punch through a few pile-ups being noted. It is an excellent performer on 6m (most of Europe, N.Africa including EA8 worked with just a modest vertical). 2m and 70cms would have been nice too but I expect that will be in the IC703 MkII. A QRP version of the IC7000 or IC7100 with internal ATU like the IC703 but with all the DSP IF filters would be nice.No provision for internal batteries (unlike KX3 and FT817).Specs Bands160-6m  ModesAll  Power10W max, adjustable to 0.5W  Size 167(W) × 58(H) × 200(D) mm; Sensitivity0.16uV or better on SSB for 10dB S/N  Weight 2.0 kg  StabilityLess than ±0.5 ppm (0 to 50°C;

Thanks for stopping by. I operate portable a lot. Here's what I've been up to lately: Last portable operation:  December 31,2016: Weir Farm National Historic Site (NS67) as KX9X/1 for National Parks on the Air.. 620 QSOs on 20m/40m SSB & CW, plus the SO50 satellite. Next portable operation: Nothing planned. While I've achieved much in HF and VHF contesting and DX'ing over the years, I spend most of my ham radio time these days pursuing satellite and backpack QRP operating. Portable operating is where I get most of my kicks now. I simply enjoy being on the air, whether it's running stations during a DX contest, working sporadic-E, aurora or tropo while on a VHF Grid DXpedition, chasing grids on the amateur radio satellites, or operating QRP CW into a simple wire antenna from a New England mountaintop.

***NEVER let your housing situation keep you from getting on the air. I live in an apartment and I make plenty of QSOs every year. There are many ways to be an active ham without the ability to put up a high-profile antenna at your QTH.*** First licensed in 1982, as KA9NGH. Since then, I've been N9HXG, KF9PL, and finally KX9X as of 1996. Member of: ARRL, Society of Midwest Contesters, A1 Operators Club, CWops (#683), QRP-ARCI (#14,064). AMSAT, Flying Pigs QRP (#2,010), and SKCC (#9,986). I am also the drummer for the Spurious Emissions Band, a group of ham radio contesters/musicians. Every year at Dayton, we play a set at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, taking popular tunes and changing the words to be about ham radio. Other members include Ward N0AX, Scott W4PA, Kirk K4RO, along with occasional guest band members Becky W1BXY, Katie WY7YL and Dwayne WY7FD. Watch our 2015 performance at Dayton here. Turn on closed captioning to see the lyrics. Outside of amateur radio, I play drums with a couple of rock bands from time to time, follow Major League Baseball religiously, and enjoy making high-quality pizza and artisan breads.

The Other Side Of The Pileup - Where The FUN Is! One of my biggest pleasures in Amateur Radio is to "be the DX." This pursuit of being the sought-after station has allowed me to learn the definition of DX depends entirely on your circumstances. It can mean operating from a rare country for a DX contest on HF, setting up shop in a barren grid square for VHF/UHF, or a rare county in a State QSO Party. Some of the lesser-known awards programs, such as Summits On The Air and US Islands, offer a great deal of fun and adventure for those interested in operating portable from a rare location. If you want to combine portable operating with the Great Outdoors, look into SOTA or USi; you'll be glad you did! Operated as 6Y7M in the 1994 CQ WPX CW Contest, V26NA in the 1997 ARRL DX CW Contest and as NP4DX (with Ward N0AX) in the 2011 ARRL CW Sweepstakes. I started operating weak-signal VHF/UHF in 1994, and love a good 6-meter opening. Meteor scatter on 2m is quite fun as well. I love going on Grid DXpeditions, and have operated 6 and 2 meters from the following grid squares: DM77, EM56, EN57, DN95, EN20, EM45, FN45, FN33 and FN34.

I've also activated 26 grids via satellite in the US and Puerto Rico, and from the island of Antigua (V2) via RS12 in  1997. Atop Pinnacle Rock in Plainville, CT for the "Flight of the Bumblebees" QRP Contest, July 2011 Logging KX9X on Portable Operations If you work me on one of my many portable operations, always log me and upload our QSO to Logbook of The World using the call I sent on the air. I will always sign /p with the appropriate call area number (KX9X/1, KX9X/4, etc) if I'm not operating from the Hartford, CT area. Working Me On The Satellites I've been active on FM satellites since 2011 and started using the SSB/CW satellite in September 2012. I use a 5w dual-band HT and an Arrow handheld dual-band yagi for the FM birds. I can often be found using the analog satellite station at W1HQ,  the ARRL employee club station. Currently assembling a portable station for analog satellite expeditions with my Yaesu 817ND and Icom 706MkIIg and Arrow yagi. Thanks to Clayton W5PFG, Patrick WD9EWK, Paul N8HM, and Dave KG5CCI for their knowledge and help with my portable satellite operating efforts.

Please support AMSAT's FOX project. The satellites are low-earth-orbit, which means they move across the sky very quickly. A very good pass will only yield about a 12 to 15-minute opening. If we have made a QSO on the satellites and we have exchanged QSLs (either paper QSL or LOTW), I kindly request that you do not call me again unless the pass doesn't have a lot of users. I would love to enjoy a nice chat with you, but with a very short window of opportunity and many, many hams trying to make QSOs on the satellites, I would rather maximize my efficiency during the short openings and pursue QSOs with new grids or hams new to satellite QSOs. Remember, a QSO with a station you've worked several times deprives all users during that pass of a chance to have a QSO with a new station or grid. Many thanks for your consideration. Operating analog satellites as KX9X/6 from CM86xx, Santa Cruz, CA - October 2012 In December 2014, I activated Pigeon Key, Florida for the US Islands program (designator FL-437S).

I was there as a high school student in the summer of 1984 and fell in love with the Keys because of my week on this island thirty years ago. Pigeon Key has a lot of history to it; the four-acre island housed some of the workers that built the Florida East Coast Railway connection from south Florida to Key West between 1908-1912, and has eight buildings on the National Historic Register. Today it is a marine science research facility for students aged 9-17. They are operated by a private foundation and do great work; learn more at www.pigeonkey.net. If you would like a QSL from me, I would appreciate a self-addressed stamped envelope along with your QSL. I keep all of my logs from every operation I've done. My logbooks never close. So, if you need a card from me for a QSO we had 15 years ago, I can still confirm it. I also upload to Logbook of The World regularly; Remember: Ham radio is vast. If you're not having fun with amateur radio, try something new. As I always say in my presentations: "Life is short: Do more radio."
