Experimenting with different configurations of 40 - 15 meter #linkedefhw with #qrpguys mini tuner while hunting #parksontheair #pota #sota #summitsontheair and #DX into Europe. Due to #geomagneticstorm from Earth facing #coronalhole #hfbands were noisy. #solarcycle25 #spaceweather #spacewx

Paired the @youkits #hb1b with the #qrpguys Mini Tuner into a 40-15 #linkedefhw for the Early Bird #morsecode CW #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair activation. The #hfbands are starting to change a bit #QSB with noise.

Its "UGLY", a tad bit "Bulky", but its is lightweight and I can't say enough of how the #QRPGuys #MiniTuner works with my DIY #LinkedEFHW. Worked the "EXTRA" portion of the #CW #MorseCode 20m band during Early Bird CW #MorseCode#POTA #parksontheair and got into Central/SUR America. IT WORKS

I was in such a hurry to beat the next storm, I used the internal low battery of the #HB1B and left #QRPGuys #mintuner in tune position for first 5 contacts. Here's 2 of the #QRPp less than a watt. #POTA #parksontheair #MorseCode CW #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

It was an Early Bird #morsecode #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair activation with the Peanut Butter and Jelly CW #hb1b #qrpguys mini tuner combo. Worked out well with 40 contacts on 40,30 and 20 meters

Shocked! Surprised! Grateful! That's my description of the #QRPGuys #MiniTuner. Fine piece of #AmateurRadio #HamRadio equipment to add to my #HamonaBike operating. No problems getting 1.1:! match on 40,30,20,17,and 15 meters. AWESOME!

Had plenty of company for the Early Bird #pota #parksontheair activation today. Got 20 #morsecode CW contacts on 40 meters before conditions waned. #qrpguys mini tuner #hb1b combo did the job. #amateurradio #hamradio

I built a #QRPGuys 40-10 #Minituner a few years ago but never built a wire for it. Thanks to current #Geomagneticstorm conditions, I built a 40 -15 Meter Linked #EFHW that I can use with my #Youkits #YouKitsHB1B #HB1B and my #QRPlabs #QDX. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio is so much fun!

I did it! I ordered new shit. This time a #truSDX kit #tranceiver! I am still unsure if i want the #qrpguys metal case or if i want to have a shack in a box setup centered around this.

This is a 5 band #SDR tranceiver using an #atmega and some sort of PWRed pa, which makes it one of the most efficient trx i know of. Receiving quality is reasonable.
