@rombat @AE4WX @technodad @ai6yr same plus a collapsible mast, weight and throw line for a tree, etc. Redundant antennas and deploy approaches. All in a backpack ready to grab. Was my regular POTA setup but I haven’t done that in over a year.

@exador23 @ai6yr wonder how “extended” that is because that stretch of interstate is already terrible with freight traffic in this area. That detour route is going to be a nightmare if it runs through tomorrow.

@ai6yr wire up a tree is one of my go-to POTA setups. One of my brag stories is hitting Italy from my front yard on 20 watts using speaker wire

@ai6yr I forgot to reply to this the other day but that is awesome! I’ve tried a slinky before but never experimented that much. I know a local ham who used metal window blinds before and made some DX contacts

@ai6yr 😂 did you do anything to tune it? How much power did you put through it?

@ai6yr @lckrohjr @iembot_mrx I appreciate this so much! No worries on any delay. This was just a request for potential future use. Fortunately the weather passed through here this afternoon much faster than I thought it would. We are definitely in tornado season though so I am going to get some value from this. Thank you again!

@ai6yr @lckrohjr that would be awesome! No rush for today. I was just thinking it would be great to fill that gap for myself here on Mastodon and you seemed to already have that in motion. Let me know if/when that comes online. If you'd rather someone contribute or PR it somewhere I could likely help too.
