11m @SOTAbeams #travelmast with #randomlengthwireantenna into #qrpradio #ft817 #z817 @cwmorse_us #sp4 for this morning's #amateurradio #hamradio cw #morsecode and #ssb #parksontheair #pota activation
I had a visitor during this morning's #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair activation while setting up my #randomlengthwireantenna and I was able to pull a rabbit out of my hat with a 20m #ssb #QSO into Japan
Fun #pota #parksontheair activation this morning with #ft891 #mfj971 and #randomlengthwireantenna. Long activation called for #tpsolar 60w #solarpanel & #buddipolemini #hamradio #amateurradio
Another day of Mother Nature being unkind during #pota #parksontheair activation. #SolarFlares. So I'll show off my #randomlengthwireantenna with #qrpradio #ft817 #z817 #putikeeg mini #morsecode #straightkey #amateurradio #hamradio
Last of photos from today's #parksontheair #pota activation deployment of new SOTABEAMS mast. 28.5' vertical #randomlengthwireantenna with counterpoise and 40 - 10 #EFHW #endfedantenna with 32' top sloped to 3'.
I had a #dremmittbrown moment this morning. "It works" with my #randomlengthwireantenna made of 26 AWG ultralight Stealth wire from #dxengineering. Right out of the gate 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO with Rob #wc1n 28.5' radiator with 28.5' counterpoise Tuned 1.1:1 with #z817 #autotuner on 40,30,20,17,15,12 and 10 meters. It's a keeper. #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode
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.
Going with a Speaker Wire #randomlengthwireantenna with 9:1 #unun. Had so much fun with the #putikeeg mini #straightkey yesterday, putting in back in action for today's
