I went out to US-10658 to run the repaired @qrplabs #QMX mid-band with a ground wire from the @elecraft T1 ATU and a @packtenna #EFRW with a 20' counterpoise, I had NO #RFI issues when holding my #BamaKey TP-III. I got great signal reports even though the conditions were "fair".
Everything looks professional with some heat shrink tubing πŸ˜†

Eventually, I managed to pull up the antenna wire and get on the air, though. The location was also quite nice and turned the situation into a positive experience in the end.

I am finally back on air. This 16 m end fed random wire antenna with a remote tuner will do its job for now until I decide to scale it up! #antenna #efrw #hamradio #AmateurRadio.
