For portable ops, running a Yaesu FT-891 with an MFJ 939 tuner to a Buddipole.

Looking forward to my first Field Day contest this weekend! Blocking off the day and planning to run SO2R and maybe snag some extra points for solar. We'll see.

Internet via VARA? Yup! Found this on reddit:

Anyone else experiencing a drop in LotW confirmations? It used to be if I was actively making QSOs that when I downloaded from LotW to QRZ I'd have several an hour. For the last month or more, I can go a whole day and maybe get 10.
Example: today so far I've made 30 QSOs. Zero confirmations imported via LotW.
