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

@jez @xssfox

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.

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

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

Spending a leisurely Sunday morning sipping a cup of Joe and some patio #amateurradio #hamradio operating hunting, chasing and anything else coming through my #ft891

Bought two patch cables with RJ45 connectors to test and transfer the microphone connector outside of the radio. Both going to work. Now I have to design a holder or maybe someone know a existing 3d printer design? #hamradio #yaesu #ft891 #3dprinting

Two patch cables. One as a slim format and the other as a flat format. In the background the Yaesu FT-891 with detached head unit.

The crew and I had a fun time early afternoon hunting #FT8 with my #FT891 thru #Signalink on 15 meters. I was able to work Alex #RU3GC from my patio in Louisville, KY USA. #AmateurRadio #Hamradio #digital at its best.

Well here's something I haven't done in ages. Hunting #FT8 from my patio with my #ft891 no less. #15m is hot. #amateurradio #hamradio
