I wasn't aware there was an ongoing solar storm. This weird #antenna made out of cheap pointing stick worked under this condition even more exciting.

#qrp levels I managed to reach EU stations that I usually reach. Able to send a #winlink email. I simply stick a 1.6 meter extendable pole to an manual tuner. This will allow me to work many non convenient places in the future.

Need to make the antenna stable against wind and reduce the strain on BNC next.

@alper so cool! What kind of QSO did you have? SSB? CW? FT8?

@py2toz Any actually if you don't count winlink. Normally I am more of a digital person who prefer #olivia and #psk31 yet there was most likely a contest today which wiped digital portion of 20mhz. It was also cold and I had a guest who politely looked interested. So there was many limits =)

@alper Awesome! I never had the luck to pull any #olivia nor #psk31 QSO, though I used to get some #rtty blasting from the US on contest days.
