It was a good idea to take it slow and precisely tune the radiating elements. It is resonant or near it across sizable portions of 40, 20, 17, and 15 meters. Probably will add the 10m element.
Finished the #DXCommander build this afternoon. Tomorrow I will tune it up and get OTA! This one is for my lab Chewie. I bought this antenna for our adventures and he passed soon after. Been staring at the box from #LordCallum for about a year.
Every night after work I build just a little more of my DX Commander Expedition that I shelved when I lost my mojo. Well. Mojo rising!
Why get into radio? I met a Vietnam vet tonight who teared up telling me he talked to his wife in the U.S. from the jungle in 1967 and it saved his life. My uncle was one of the ham operators in the U.S. who volunteered to handle this kind of traffic. Communications matters.
Took the RV out for a weekend at the beach. Set up my gear and tuned up the EFHW antenna with the FT-891, LDG Z11 Pro II and a CW tone on 20 meters. The RV lights flickered and my kitchen vent fan turned on. I keyed up again the lights flickered and the vent fan shut off. 😂
BRAND NEW!! POTA-Flex 7 Coaxial Cable by Messi & Paoloni youtu.be/6bYLdHLaVqM?si… via @YouTube Oh snap! Had a rugged week at work but ya know what? Ordering 50 ft of POTA flex just now made it all alright!!
Broke down after 30 years when got 20wpm Extra & bought a CW key. Great little mini key for $39 (got an Amazon Warehouse one for $31). Actually stays in place without holding it! Plan on making my first CW contact in 30 years sometime in the next decade… amzn.to/4871NJD
Searched for a Morse Key on Amazon. Prices range from equivalent of $10 to more than $200! Wondering what is so great about the costlier ones?
Playing radio with the new SDR play hdx. I’m thinking a receive loop could be next. So many fun things to try and way too little time.
I hooked up an SdrPlay hdx to the IC7300 with the Radio Analog PTRX kit dxengineering.com/parts/LOG-PTRX…. While expensive to do, OmniRig and SDRuno easily interface with all kinds of other software. And hey, it’s cheaper than a 7610! At least that’s my rationale. 😂
🤣🤣🤣👍🏽
Reaching a goal is something special. Perseverance is key. Discipline is critical and it pays off in ways you’d never expect. Don’t give up. Never give up. Who cares how long it takes. You are stronger than you realize. Just don’t stop. #gonnalearncw
