I tried out a new setup during the CQWW contest.
Bottom of the picture, right to left: 14 MHz VFO, R1 direct conversion receiver (design by Rick Campbell KK7B) and transmitter with 2N3553, 2 Watt out max. The modular approach is very inviting for making experiments, e.g. I plan to replace the VFO with a DDS design in the near future.
