Now I've got a really really simple 1090 MHz vertical sleeve dipole. Ho. Ho. Ho.

Signal according to dump1090: -19.5 dB, peak -1.1 (total of approx. 30 mins)

Sometimes my antenna are packaged but most of the time mine are #diy #amateurradio #hamradio #diyantenna 80-60-40-30 meter linked dipole antenna

@#qrpguys 40 - 10 meter #minituner with #EFHW #endfedantenna and counterpoise #amateurradio #hamradio #diyantenna

That was easy. Completed 28.5' ultra light #diyantenna #randomlengthwireantenna and 28.5' counterpoise with 26 AWG Stealth Wire. With my Bicycle #hamradio #amateurradio #pota #parksontheair activations, the lighter the better, the less space even better.

Since there is a continual thunderstorm threat today, may as well build an ultra light 28.5' QRP random wire with 26AWG Stealth #diyantenna for use with my Z817 Autotuner and #ft817 plus with #HB1B #amateurradio #hamradio #antenna

On 8/8/21, I made my 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO activation at K-7956. Today I completed my 2000th #QSO at K-7956. Thanks to @potaspots, all volunteers & hunters who helped me achieve this milestone. I've learned so much about myself, #AmateurRadio #hamradio #CW #MorseCode, #SSB, #FT8 #SSTV, #DIYantenna, #QRP since then. Thanks @ParksOnTheAir
