Well, it was such a nice day yesterday that I decided to put up the new EFHW antenna! Took a couple hours to get it in place and get it tuned up. It definitely works much better than I was expecting!

Managed to get the tune so I don't need to use any tuner at all on all bands that it supports! Everything is under 2:1 SWR and some are even nearly 1:1 which I really didn't expect!

The markers are color coded for the bands that I got contacts on. Green ones for 40 meters, orange ones for 30 meters, blue for 20 meters, cyan for 15 meters, and yellow for 10 meters!

I can definitely recommend this antenna ( myantennas.com EFHW ) without question.

This weekend I pulled out the Buddipole and did 20m, since it's so amazingly nice out! 44℉ (7℃)

Managed to log 58 contacts all weekend, which is one of my best yet!

Today I forgot to bring my laptop up the hill. Therefore I was forced to do #amateurradio the old style, talk to hams via #ssb instead of doing #ft8. It was a welcome change that made me join the #RSGB contest on #40m plus a #POTA activation on #20m.
Thanks hunters!

I'm catching a little bit of time on #FT8 this morning before the others in the house wake up, lol

I'm currently, sporadically, working folks on #20m

Today's #POTA early shift activation took place with hoarfrost.
Every minute at sunrise reduced the likelihood of #DX on #40m. At least I could work Trinidad and Tobago.
In the end 57 data QSO in #40m, #20m and #15m.
Thanks hunters!
