The threat of early morning thunderstorms NOT #geomagneticstorm squelched this morning's #POTA #parksontheair activation but managed to setup #buddipole with #FT891 to hunt. Even got a #SSB #QSO with #W1AW #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

We are going vertical on today's Cup of Joe Patio with the @buddipole as a #buddistick on 20m for the @skccgroup #skcc #QSO Party and #ft891 #bencher #straightkey #amateurradio #hamradio CW #morsecode

I was going for a Cup of Joe Patio 40m #SKCCgroup #QSO party contacts with @Buddipole #buddipolepowermini #ft891 but not with a +S9 noise floor. Everyday all at my #QTH #amateurradio #hamradio

Some afterwork POTA #HamOnABike #ft891

Another Weekend of Terrestrial Storms so its a Cup of Joe Patio #HamRadio #AmateurRadio @skccgroup #SKCCWES CW #MorseCode Weekend with the #FT891 #BencherStraightkey #Telegraphkey

I had a nice #WSJTx #FT8 session from the QTU using my #FT891 with #Singalink #AmateurRadio #Hamradio #HamRadioDigitalMode

I bit the bullet. S0. Just a spike when plugging it in under load. Antenna is resonant on 20m, not on 40m. Inconclusive yet, power was not shared with the rig.

I even took a risk and marked one wire as hot, turns out, that was the right one!

Charges my #steamdeck just as well as a stock charger and the #ft891 barely feels anything. Works fine supplying 20V, too.

Hamradio going wireless!

Nice 100W activation of #summitsontheair LA/RL-102 #rossåsen today. 39 in the log on 20m SSB, with one S2S #sota #portableradio #ft891 #hamradio

For the last few weeks I've been stuck in a quagmire with #randomwire antenna with my #FT817 and #FT891. Now I made another one. A 34.5 feet radiator with (2) 17 feet counterpoise for this pair #HB1b CW #MorseCode & #ATU10 tuner. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT! Living in a HOA, apartment or other restrictive covenant has its challenges for #AmateurRadio #HamRadio operations. Yesterday, I made these CW #MorseCode QSOs with this @AlphaAntenna #MagLoop with a #FT891 at 30 watts. Restrictions? Not FOR ME.

There is something special, mysterious, intriguing and gratifying about working #DX while doing #QRP. DON'T get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with #QRO. I have 3 @QRO #TenTec rigs in my shack and a #FT891. BUT 5 watts across the pond? #AmateurRadio #HamRadio CW #Morsecode

Its a gloomy Sunday morning edition of "A Cup of Joe Patio" #AmateurRadio #HamRadio. Today's version is #RTTY contest with #HRD #HamRadioDeluxe #DM780 and #ft891

It seems my mic won't disconnect from my #FT891, so I'll use it until I figure out how to detach it. 😅 The sun is doing its best impersonation of Rice Krispies-Snap,Crackle & Pop on all the bands today. That earlier #Xclass #solarflare didn't help much. #AmateurRadio #hamradio
