Well, the CQ WW WPX SSB Contest for 2026 is done, and it just happened to coincide with me building a new antenna.
I now have a permanent install of a Rybakov multi-band, non-resonant vertical with elevated radials. I'm really happy to finally have something that is omnidirectional.
Now I need to eventually get a remote tuner to claim back some of my feedline losses due to the SWR penalty on some of the bands, but that's down the road a ways.
